What problem does it solve?
Manually monitoring RSS feeds, GitHub repositories, and JSON APIs for new updates is tedious and prone to missed critical changes. This Skill automates polling of these external sources with built-in watermark-based deduplication, ensuring you only receive notifications when there is genuinely new content to review.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-source polling: Natively supports RSS/Atom feeds, GitHub issues/pulls/releases/commits, and arbitrary JSON endpoints with configurable deduplication ID fields.
- Watermark-based deduplication: Tracks previously seen items in a bounded state file, preventing replay of old content and capping memory usage to avoid bloat.
- Cron-friendly automation: Outputs nothing when there are no new items, making it seamless to integrate with scheduled cron jobs for hands-off monitoring.
- Use Case: A security analyst can use this Skill to watch a threat intelligence RSS feed and a GitHub security advisory repo, receiving only the latest new vulnerability disclosures directly in their workflow without sifting through historical data.
Quick Start
Instruct the agent to create a scheduled watcher for your target RSS feed, GitHub repository, or JSON API that delivers only new items to your workflow on your desired interval.
