blogwatcher

To monitor RSS and Atom feeds for new blog posts automatically, this Skill scans your tracked sources and surfaces unread items. It supports feed discovery, HTML scraping fallbacks, and bulk scan workflows to eliminate manual checking schedules.

There is no stated limit to how many industry blogs you can scan on a schedule for research. The Skill supports bulk scan workflows with configurable worker counts, allowing personal or team content monitoring across dozens of tracked feed sources.
