SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires blogwatcher-cli.

What problem does it solve? Keeping up with new posts across many blogs and RSS/Atom feeds requires manually checking each site, which is easy to forget and hard to track. This Skill centralizes feed monitoring, scanning, and read/unread article management through a single CLI tool. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Feed Monitoring: Add blogs with automatic RSS/Atom feed discovery, HTML scraping fallback via CSS selectors, and bulk OPML import from readers like Feedly or Inoreader. - Scanning & Reading: Scan all or individual blogs for new articles, list unread items, filter by blog or category, and mark articles read or unread. - Use Case: Track a list of engineering blogs by importing an OPML file, run a scan each morning, and review only the 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 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 check for new articles. It auto-discovers RSS/Atom feeds from homepages and stores results in a local SQLite database.

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

Run blogwatcher-cli import subscriptions.opml to bulk-import blogs from OPML files exported by Feedly, Inoreader, or NewsBlur. Each entry is added as a tracked blog with its feed URL.

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 article links 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 is lost when the container restarts.

How do I migrate from the original blogwatcher to blogwatcher-cli?▼

Move the old database with mv ~/.blogwatcher/blogwatcher.db ~/.blogwatcher-cli/blogwatcher-cli.db. Note the binary was renamed from blogwatcher to blogwatcher-cli in this fork.
