From the README

# News Agents

A little experiment with Amazon Q, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and tmux to create a news aggregation system that runs entirely in your terminal. It fetches and summarizes articles from various news sources using multiple agents working in parallel. 

Also read the write-up [here](https://eugeneyan.com/writing/news-agents/), and click the image below for 3-minute demo on YouTube.

## What's This All About?

This project is me playing around with:
- Amazon Q CLI as agent harness

1. Follow the [official guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qdeveloper-ug/command-line-installing.html) to install Amazon Q CLI
2. Set up your AWS credentials 
3. Make sure it's working:
```bash
