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 & Tracking: Add blogs by URL with automatic RSS/Atom feed discovery, explicit feed URLs, or HTML scraping fallback via CSS selectors. - Scanning & Article Management: Scan all or individual blogs for new posts, list unread articles, filter by blog or category, and mark articles read or unread. - Bulk Import: Import subscription lists from OPML files exported by Feedly, Inoreader, or NewsBlur. - Use Case: A researcher tracking 30 engineering blogs imports an OPML file, runs a daily scan, and reviews only unread articles filtered by the "Engineering" category. ## Quick Start Install blogwatcher-cli, then ask the agent to add a blog by URL and scan it for new unread articles.

Frequently Asked Questions about blogwatcher

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Use blogwatcher-cli to add blogs by URL, then run blogwatcher-cli scan to fetch new articles. It auto-discovers RSS/Atom feeds from homepages and stores articles in a local SQLite database with read/unread tracking.

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

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

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

Yes, blogwatcher-cli supports HTML scraping as a fallback. Add the blog with --scrape-selector followed by a CSS selector like "article h2 a" to extract post links directly from the page.

Does blogwatcher-cli work in Docker with persistent data?▼

Yes, run the Docker image with a volume mount and set BLOGWATCHER_DB to a path inside the mounted volume. Without this, the SQLite database at ~/.blogwatcher-cli is lost when the container restarts.

How do I filter unread articles by blog or category?▼

Use blogwatcher-cli articles with the --blog flag to filter by blog name or --category to filter by feed category. Categories are stored automatically from RSS/Atom feed metadata during scans.
