SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Poll RSS, JSON endpoints, and GitHub to identify new items since the last check. It reduces manual monitoring and noise by surfacing only new content.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Watermark-based deduplication: remembers seen items across runs to avoid re-notifications.
  • Ready-made watchers: three scripts watch RSS, JSON, and GitHub for changes.
  • Flexible delivery: formats output in Markdown for easy cron-based delivery and summarization.

Quick Start

Run one of the watcher scripts with a --name and appropriate arguments to begin receiving updates.
