What it installs

Skills (5)

  • configure

    Tailor spindle's news to your stack — topics, feeds, subreddits, pool size, API mode, or the headline agent's model — by editing ~/.config/spindle/config.toml.

  • refresh

    Pull fresh developer news in the background; the headline-writer agent cleans it and the spinner updates on its own.

  • reset

    Restart spindle's headline rotation so every cached story is eligible again. Pass "all" to also clear the story cache.

  • status

    Show spindle's cache, rotation state, and the headlines currently in the thinking spinner.

  • uninstall

    Remove everything spindle wrote outside the plugin (spinnerVerbs in settings.json, the news cache, pre-plugin install leftovers) before uninstalling the plugin.
