SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The RSS Digest Skill removes the need to manually check multiple RSS/Atom feeds and summarize new items, so you can stay informed with minimal time investment.

Core Features & Use Cases

Fetch and parse RSS/Atom feeds: Retrieves entries from configured feed URLs and considers publication timestamps from <pubDate> or <updated>.
Summarize and select the most relevant items: Picks the 5–7 most interesting items, prioritizing topics tracked in your MEMORY.md.
Deduplicate and log results: Avoids repeating items by checking recent memory logs and writes a digest to memory/logs/${today}.md.
Delivery-ready notifications: Formats a concise digest (under 4000 characters) and sends it via ./notify, optionally using WebFetch when descriptions are thin.

Quick Start

Ask your Aeon setup to run the RSS Digest skill so it reads feeds from memory/feeds.yml and sends you a daily summary of new feed highlights.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate daily RSS feed summaries and news monitoring?▼

To automate daily RSS feed summaries, fetch feed entries and parse publication timestamps to select 5–7 prioritized items. This process deduplicates against recent logs and formats a concise digest under 4000 characters for notifications.

What is the best way to deduplicate RSS feed entries for daily digests?▼

The best way to deduplicate RSS feed entries is by checking recent memory logs before generating the daily digest. This prevents repeating items and ensures only newly published articles are included in the summary.

How does WebFetch work with thin RSS feed descriptions?▼

WebFetch retrieves full articles when RSS feed descriptions are too thin to summarize. It extracts the complete text from the source URL to generate a more comprehensive digest entry for your daily notifications.

Do I need a specific file format to configure multiple Atom feeds for tracking?▼

You need a YAML configuration file, specifically memory/feeds.yml, to list and configure multiple Atom and RSS feeds. The skill reads this file to fetch entries and log daily results to memory/logs.

Can I prioritize specific topics when summarizing RSS feed updates?▼

You can prioritize specific topics by tracking them in your MEMORY.md file. The digest selection process reads this memory to pick the 5–7 most relevant items matching your configured interests.

What are the character limits for RSS digest notifications?▼

RSS digest notifications are formatted to stay under 4000 characters. This length constraint ensures compatibility with standard notification delivery systems while covering 5–7 selected items.
