SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Keeping up with daily LLM releases, tools, and benchmarks is time-consuming, and most news is irrelevant to a specific local inference setup. This Skill automates a daily digest that filters web findings for relevance to a Strix Halo / Hermes Agent / llama.cpp environment and avoids repeating past recommendations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Deduplicated research: Reads the last 7 days of digests before writing, so models and tools already recommended are not re-reported. - Hardware-aware filtering: Prioritizes findings relevant to Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 (gfx1151), 128 GB unified memory, Ollama, Lemonade Server, llama.cpp with Vulkan/ROCm, and Tailscale. - Structured output with git delivery: Writes a dated Markdown digest with severity-tagged recommendations to ~/homelab/docs/digests/, then commits and pushes to the homelab repo. - Use Case: A cron job (llm-tools-daily-scout) runs each morning; the Skill searches Reddit, HuggingFace, and GitHub, writes llm-digest-2026-07-15.md with Critical/Evaluate/Watch recommendations, pushes it, and returns a short summary. ## Quick Start Run the daily LLM digest: search the last 24-48 hours of local AI news relevant to my Strix Halo setup, write the dated digest file, and commit it to the homelab repo.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a daily LLM news digest with a cron job?▼

Trigger the Skill from the llm-tools-daily-scout cron job. It searches Reddit, HuggingFace, and GitHub for the last 24-48 hours of LLM developments, writes a dated Markdown digest to ~/homelab/docs/digests/, and commits and pushes it to the homelab repo.

How does the digest avoid repeating past recommendations?▼

Before writing, the Skill lists llm-digest-*.md files from the last 7 days and reads each Recommendations section. Models, tools, repos, and quantizations already flagged are skipped unless something genuinely new happened, such as a new benchmark or quantization.

What hardware and tools does the digest filter for?▼

It filters for a Framework Desktop with Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 (Strix Halo, gfx1151, 128 GB unified memory), a Raspberry Pi running Hermes Agent, Ollama and Lemonade Server with Vulkan/ROCm backends, llama.cpp, and Tailscale networking. Cloud-only or API-only findings are excluded.

What happens if the git push to the homelab repo fails?▼

If the push is rejected because the remote has changes, the workflow runs git pull --rebase and pushes again. If no remote is configured, a preflight check detects it and the digest is committed locally only, with a notification that the repo needs a remote.

Which speculative decoding method is fastest on Strix Halo?▼

According to the bundled references, MTP (Multi-Token Prediction) is fastest on Strix Halo's Vulkan path, reaching about 3.1-3.7x baseline on Qwen 3.6 27B and Gemma 4 31B. DFlash is the easier plug-and-play option when no MTP GGUF exists for a model family.
