SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually checking multiple blogs and RSS/Atom feeds for new content is time-consuming, error-prone, and makes it easy to miss important updates from sources you follow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Feed Tracking: Auto-discovers RSS/Atom feeds from blog homepages, falls back to HTML scraping for sites without public feeds, and tracks read/unread status of all articles.
  • Bulk Content Management: Import OPML files from popular feed readers like Feedly or Inoreader, filter articles by category, and mark content as read in bulk to keep your feed queue organized.
  • Use Case: If you follow 20+ industry blogs for tech news, use this skill to automatically scan all feeds daily, surface unread articles filtered by your preferred categories, and clear out old content without manual effort.

Quick Start
