If ${var} is set, only include feed items matching that topic.
Config
This skill reads feed URLs from memory/feeds.yml. If the file doesn't exist yet, create it or skip this skill.
# memory/feeds.yml
feeds:
- name: Example Feed
url: https://example.com/rss
- name: Another Feed
url: https://example.com/atom.xml
Read memory/MEMORY.md and memory/feeds.yml for context and feed URLs. Read the last 2 days of memory/logs/ to avoid repeating items.
For each feed in feeds.yml:
- Fetch the RSS/Atom XML:
curl -sL "FEED_URL" - Parse for entries published in the last 24h (check
or tags) - Extract title, link, and description for each new entry
Deduplicate against recent logs.
From all new entries, select the 5-7 most interesting items — prioritize topics tracked in MEMORY.md.
For each selected item:
- Use WebFetch to pull the full article if the summary is too thin
- Write a 1-2 sentence summary of why it matters
Format and send via ./notify (under 4000 chars):
*RSS Digest — ${today}*
*Feed Name*
- [Title](url) — summary
- [Title](url) — summary
*Feed Name*
- [Title](url) — summary
Log the digest to memory/logs/${today}.md. If no new items across all feeds, log "RSS_DIGEST_OK" and end.
Sandbox note
The sandbox may block outbound curl. Use WebFetch as a fallback for any URL fetch. For auth-required APIs, use the pre-fetch/post-process pattern (see CLAUDE.md).
