The prompt

This is the "Topic Watch" template from Widget Index. Keep it a Topic Watch panel, titled "Topic Watch" unless I ask for a different name. Before you build it, ask me only about the parts marked [ask me], one short question at a time, in plain words that fit a Topic Watch panel, with two or three concrete options each time. Skip anything you can work out yourself or that has an obvious default. Then build it.

Build me a panel on my Home called "Topic Watch".

What it shows: one sentence with the headline (like "3 stories on your topic today."), then the three most important new stories on [ask me: my topic] from [ask me: outlets], each with its outlet and how old it is. Skip [ask me: skip].

Where the data lives: public news on the web from those outlets. Read it, never change it.

Look: make the face of the panel the design, not a list of numbers. A big gold count of what's new, then the three newest items as clean rows with a small time or tag on the right. Under the visual, one short insight line that tells me what matters right now (like "Newest is 2 hours old"), with a dot colored by urgency: green fine, gold needs attention, red act now. Dark background, gold #DEAB42 accent, small title. One visual and one insight on the face; any extra detail goes below it, never on top.

Rhythm: refresh [ask me: how often]. Re-check the source each time and keep only current values; never invent one.
Use: glance; open the article.
