SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping up with blogs, release feeds, and news sites requires manually checking each source. This Skill fetches an RSS or Atom feed and produces a structured digest of the newest entries, so you can see what was published without visiting the site. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Feed Fetching and Parsing: Retrieves RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds through GAIA's WebClient and returns entries as structured data with title, link, published date, and summary. - Safe Error Reporting: Malformed feeds, 404s, blocked hosts, DTD-carrying feeds, and unsupported dialects like RSS 1.0/RDF are reported as explicit errors rather than silent empty digests. - Security-Conscious Parsing: Refuses feeds declaring a DTD to prevent entity expansion denial-of-service attacks, and blocks private or loopback addresses via built-in SSRF guards. - Use Case: Ask for a digest of a project's release feed to quickly spot a security release or breaking change among routine updates, with the exception highlighted first. ## Quick Start Summarize the latest entries from the feed at https://example.com/feed.xml and highlight anything unusual.

Frequently Asked Questions about rss-digest

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I summarize an RSS feed with an AI agent?▼

Provide the feed URL and the fetch_rss tool retrieves the feed, returning entries with title, link, published date, and summary. The agent then writes a one-line digest per entry, grouping by theme and highlighting any exceptional item first.

What feed formats does RSS parsing support?▼

RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds are supported, with Atom namespaces stripped so one parser handles both. RSS 1.0/RDF feeds are not supported and return an explicit error rather than an empty digest.

Why does feed parsing fail with a DTD error?▼

Feeds declaring a DOCTYPE are refused because entity expansion is a denial-of-service vector and no real feed needs a DTD. Only the prolog is scanned, so DOCTYPE-like text inside entry content does not trigger the refusal.

Can I fetch feeds from private or localhost addresses?▼

No. The tool fetches through GAIA's WebClient, which refuses private and loopback addresses as SSRF protection. Point it at a public HTTP or HTTPS feed URL.

Why does a valid URL return an error instead of entries?▼

Errors are returned verbatim for malformed XML, 404s, unreachable hosts, feeds with no recognizable entries, or unsupported dialects. The URL may point at an HTML page rather than a feed, which is reported rather than guessed.
