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 tedious and easy to forget. This Skill tracks feeds centrally, detects new articles, and manages read/unread state from the terminal. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Feed Tracking and Discovery: Add blogs by URL with automatic RSS/Atom feed discovery, HTML scraping fallback via CSS selectors, and bulk OPML import from readers like Feedly or Inoreader. - Scanning and Article Management: Scan all or individual blogs for new posts, list unread articles filtered by blog or category, and mark items read or unread. - Use Case: Import your OPML subscription export, run a scan each morning, and review only the unread articles published since your last check. ## Quick Start Install blogwatcher-cli, then ask the agent to add a blog by URL and scan it for new articles.

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

FAQPage Schema

How do I track 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 blog homepages and stores results in a local SQLite database.

How do I import OPML subscriptions into a feed reader CLI?▼

Run blogwatcher-cli import with the path to your OPML file. This bulk-imports subscriptions exported from services like Feedly, Inoreader, or NewsBlur.

Can blogwatcher-cli monitor sites without an RSS feed?▼

Yes, it supports HTML scraping as a fallback. Add the blog with the --scrape-selector flag and a CSS selector such as "article h2 a" to extract post links from the page.

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

Yes, run the ghcr.io/julientant/blogwatcher-cli image with a volume mount and set BLOGWATCHER_DB to a path inside the mounted volume so the SQLite database survives container restarts.

How do I migrate from the original Hyaxia blogwatcher?▼

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