+```bash
+ainews items [max]          # NEW items only (filters out seen)
+ainews items --all [max]    # All items including already seen
+ainews article <url>        # Full article content via fivefilters

+- Aggregates: Simon Willison, OpenAI Blog, Sebastian Raschka
+- Auto-tracks seen articles in `memory/ainews-seen.txt`
+- Auto-prunes to 200 entries
+
+**Workflow for AI news briefing:**
+1. `ainews items` → shows NEW articles, marks them as seen
+2. Pick interesting ones, optionally fetch full content with `articles`
+3. Next briefing: only shows articles published since last check
