AI SKILL

Ticker Feed Builder Guide

Teaches an AI assistant to help you build ticker files from the app's manual: profiles and feeds, the preview, story filters and text changes, file names and encodings, schedules and windows, alerts and headless runs.

What it does

Say what reads the files and paste the feed address without credentials.

  • Files that match your ticker. Titles, descriptions and numbered JPGs in sync; encodings, line endings and names.
  • Choosing the stories. Filters, duplicates, merged feeds, replacements and length limits, in the order they apply.
  • Safe by design. Temporary files, read-back check, missing folders reported, frozen-feed alerts.

Where it helps

For anyone feeding a ticker or graphics system from RSS. It follows the manual of version 26.10.12 and cannot see your feeds or ticker. A feed that is free to download is not necessarily free to broadcast: check the publisher's terms.

How to use it

  1. Add the skill folder to Claude as a Skill, or open the universal prompt file and paste it into ChatGPT, Gemini or any assistant (custom GPT, Gem, system prompt, or the start of a chat).
  2. Describe your problem in your own words. The skill asks the few questions that change the answer.
  3. Check the answer against your equipment manuals and, where it matters, a measurement.

Limits

A skill makes an AI assistant more careful, not infallible. It cannot see your equipment, it can be wrong, and standards and platforms change. Every skill lists its sources and what it does not know, and shows whether a person has validated it. Mains power, RF power and structural work always need a qualified person.
