SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of missing new blog posts and RSS/Atom updates by automatically discovering feeds, scanning them, and tracking which articles are read or unread.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic feed discovery and scanning: Scans tracked blogs, supports concurrent workers, and reports newly found articles.
  • Multiple ingestion paths: Adds sources via a feed URL, falls back to HTML scraping when RSS fails (with a selector), and imports subscriptions via OPML.
  • Read/unread article management: Lists unread articles, filters by blog or category, and marks individual articles or entire feeds as read.

Quick Start

Use the blogwatcher skill to add a blog and start tracking its RSS/Atom updates for new articles.
