+
+# AWS Summary Generator
+
+Generate summaries of AWS announcements, blogs, and press releases from a specified time period (default: 7 days).
+
+## Parameters
+
+- **days**: Number of days to look back (default: 7)
+- **category**: Optional category filter (single: "ai/ml" or multiple: "ai/ml, compute" or "ai and security")
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+- Default (all categories, last 7 days): natural language request like "show me AWS updates"
+- Specific timeframe: "aws updates last 14 days" or "aws summary 30 days"
+- Category filter: "ai/ml updates" or "compute and containers announcements"
+- Combined: "last 2 weeks ai and security updates"
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Parse Request
+
+Extract parameters from user input:
+
+- Days: Look for numbers followed by "days", "weeks" (convert weeks to days)
+- Category: Extract category keywords (ai, ml, compute, containers, databases, storage, networking, security, devops)
+- If not specified, use defaults (days=7, category=all)
+
+### Step 2: Calculate Cutoff Date
+
+- REQUIRED: Calculate cutoff date = today's date - days parameter
+- Example: If today is April 11, 2026 and days=7, cutoff is April 4, 2026
+
+### Step 3: Fetch Content
+
+- REQUIRED: Use WebFetch tool to retrieve content from ALL sources (see references/sources.md)
+- Fetch in parallel when possible for performance
+- Filter results to include only items published after cutoff date
+
+### Step 4: Filter & Categorize
+
+- Apply announcement filtering (see references/sources.md for rules)
+- If category parameter provided, apply category filter (see references/format.md for normalization)
+- Intelligently categorize all announcements into relevant groups
+- CRITICAL: If specific categories requested, ONLY include those categories in output
+
+### Step 5: Format Output
+
+- Structure content per references/format.md
+- Apply style guidelines from references/style.md
+- Group by category with appropriate emojis
+- Include only categories with announcements
+
+### Step 6: Save & Report
+
+- REQUIRED: Save output to `aws-summary-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.md` in current working directory
+- Inform user of file location
+- DO NOT include footer or attribution
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### WebFetch Failure
+
+- If source unavailable: Log warning, continue with available sources
+- If ALL sources fail: Report error to user: "Unable to fetch AWS announcements. Check network connection."
+- DO NOT proceed with empty results
+
+### No Results Found
+
+- If zero announcements match filters: Inform user: "No announcements found for [timeframe] [categories]. Try expanding date range or removing category filter."
+- Suggest adjustments: wider date range or different categories
+
+### Invalid Category
+
+- If unrecognized category provided: Show warning with valid category list
+- Proceed with closest match or ask for clarification
+
+## Reference Files

+- **references/format.md** - Output structure and category normalization
+- **references/style.md** - Writing style and formatting guidelines

+# Output Format
+
+## Category Filtering (CRITICAL)
+
+When `category` parameter is provided:
+
+- ONLY include announcements from the specified category/categories
+- Single category example: "ai/ml" → only AI/ML announcements
+- Multiple categories example: "ai/ml, compute" or "ai and compute" → only AI/ML and Compute
+- DO NOT include announcements from other categories when specific categories are requested
+- If no category is specified, include all categories
+
+## Category Normalization
+
+Recognize common variations:
+
+- **AI/ML**: "ai", "ml", "ai/ml", "machine learning", "artificial intelligence", "generative ai", "genai"
+- **Compute**: "compute", "ec2", "lambda", "serverless"
+- **Containers**: "containers", "ecs", "eks", "kubernetes", "docker"
+- **Databases**: "database", "databases", "db", "rds", "dynamodb"
+- **Storage**: "storage", "s3"
+- **Networking**: "networking", "network", "vpc", "cloudfront"
+- **Security**: "security", "iam", "cognito"
+- **DevOps**: "devops", "cicd", "ci/cd", "management", "governance", "observability", "monitoring"
+
+## Structure
+
+1. **Dynamically group by category**: Analyze all announcements and intelligently group them (AI/ML, Compute, Containers, Databases, Storage, Networking, Security, DevOps, Analytics, etc.)
+2. **Category sections**: Use appropriate emoji for each category (e.g., 🤖 AI/ML, 💻 Compute, 📦 Containers, 💾 Databases, 🔐 Security)
+3. **For each item include**:
+   - Clear title and business-focused description
+   - Full URL as plain text (NOT markdown links - Slack auto-converts)
+   - Use 📝 for blog posts, 📢 for "What's New" announcements
+4. **Keep descriptions concise** - focus on business impact, not technical details
+5. **Only show categories with announcements** - omit empty categories
+
+## File Output
+
+- Save to: `aws-summary-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.md` (use current date/time)
+- Location: current working directory
+- DO NOT include footer or attribution line (e.g., "Generated with...")
