SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping up with new posts across many blogs and RSS/Atom feeds requires manually checking each site, which is slow and easy to forget. This Skill centralizes feed tracking, scanning, and read/unread article management through a single CLI. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Feed Discovery and Tracking: Add blogs by URL with automatic RSS/Atom feed discovery, HTML scraping fallback via CSS selectors, and bulk OPML import from readers like Feedly or Inoreader. - Scanning and Article Management: Scan all or individual blogs for new posts, list unread articles, filter by blog or category, and mark articles read or unread. - Use Case: Import your OPML subscription file, run a scan each morning, and review only the unread articles filtered by the "Engineering" category. ## Quick Start Use the blogwatcher skill to add my favorite blogs, scan them for new posts, and list all unread articles.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track RSS feeds from the command line?▼

Use blogwatcher-cli to add blogs by URL and it auto-discovers their RSS or Atom feeds. Run blogwatcher-cli scan to fetch new articles and blogwatcher-cli articles to list unread posts.

How to import OPML subscriptions into a feed reader CLI?▼

Run blogwatcher-cli import subscriptions.opml to bulk-import blogs from an OPML file. This works with exports from Feedly, Inoreader, NewsBlur, and similar readers.

Can blogwatcher-cli monitor blogs without an RSS feed?▼

Yes, add the blog with the --scrape-selector flag specifying a CSS selector like "article h2 a". The tool falls back to HTML scraping when no RSS or Atom feed is available.

Does blogwatcher-cli work on macOS and Windows?▼

Yes, prebuilt binaries are published for Linux amd64/arm64 and macOS Intel/Apple Silicon, and the skill lists Windows as a supported platform. You can also run it via Docker or install with Go on any supported system.

Why does my Docker blogwatcher scan lose tracked blogs?▼

The SQLite database defaults to ~/.blogwatcher-cli/blogwatcher-cli.db, which is lost when the container stops. Mount a volume and set BLOGWATCHER_DB=/data/blogwatcher-cli.db to persist it.
