+
+Follow these steps:
+
+1. Parse the news content from $ARGUMENTS
+2. Determine the appropriate month and year (ask if unclear)
+3. Read both News.md and history.md files
+4. Add the news item to history.md in the correct chronological position:
+   - Years are organized with `## Year` headings (e.g., `## 2026`, `## 2025`)
+   - Years are sorted descending (newest first)
+   - Create year section if it doesn't exist
+   - Months within a year are in chronological order (January at top)
+   - Format: `- [news content]`
+5. Add the same item to News.md:
+   - Years are organized with `## Year` headings
+   - Find or create the correct year section
+   - Find or create the month subsection (### Month)
+   - Insert after the month heading
+   - The Durham announcement is a special item under the `## 2025` heading
+6. Count regular news items in News.md (items that start with "- ")
+7. If more than 5 regular news items exist, remove the oldest ones
+   - Special announcements (like Durham) don't count toward the 5-item limit
+   - Only remove items from the oldest months, preserving year structure
+8. Ensure proper spacing between sections
+9. Save both files
+
+Important formatting:
+
+- Year headings: `## 2026`, `## 2025`, etc.
+- Month headings: `### January`, `### December`, etc.
+- News items start with "- "
+- Leave blank lines between different sections
+- Special announcements (like Durham) use `### <i class="fa-solid...">` format
+- Special announcements don't count toward the 5-item limit
+
+Structure example:
+
+```markdown
+## 2026
+
+### January
+
+- [News item]
+
+## 2025
+
+### <Special announcement with icon>
+
