blogwatcher

To monitor RSS feeds and track unread articles, you add blogs by URL or import an OPML file, run a feed scan, and the system persists read/unread state in a local SQLite database for personal or team reading workflows.

Yes, you can import OPML subscriptions to manage multiple blog feeds at once. The Skill supports OPML import so you can migrate subscriptions from an existing reader and immediately scan them for new articles.

When a blog doesn't have an RSS or Atom feed available, the Skill falls back to HTML scraping to detect new articles. This resilience feature ensures you can still monitor sites that lack standard feed infrastructure.

No, you do not need a separate database to store feed monitoring data. The Skill uses SQLite-backed database persistence locally, automatically handling feed sources, article tracking, and read/unread state without external database setup.

You can run per-blog scans to check specific feeds for new articles instead of performing a full scan across all sources. This lets you triage targeted updates and mark articles read or unread individually.

Yes, the blogwatcher-cli tool is required to use this RSS monitoring Skill. It powers feed discovery, OPML import, scanning, and article tracking, with environment variable configuration for flexible deployment contexts.
