Folo Reader Skill

Folo (https://app.folo.is) is an AI-powered RSS reader that aggregates articles, social media posts, images, videos, and audio. Use this skill to fetch news, browse timelines, and discover/subscribe to new feeds.

Key URLs

Purpose URL
Unread articles https://app.folo.is/timeline/articles/all/pending
All articles https://app.folo.is/timeline/articles/all
Specific entry https://app.folo.is/timeline/articles/all/{entry_id}
Discover & search https://app.folo.is/discover

UI Structure

Left sidebar (top filter bar): Content type buttons — 全部 (All), 文章 (Articles), 社交媒体 (Social), 图片 (Images), 视频 (Videos), 音频 (Audio)

Left sidebar (feed groups): Feed subscriptions listed with unread counts (e.g., "Recommended 124", "Twitter @某用户 19")

Main pane: Article list with title, source, timestamp, excerpt, and optional cover image

Right pane: Full article content when an article is selected

Workflow 1 — Browse Timeline / Read News

  1. Navigate to https://app.folo.is/timeline/articles/all/pending (unread) or /timeline/articles/all (all)
  2. Use browser_snapshot to read the article list
  3. Extract articles: title, source name, time ago, excerpt, entry URL
  4. Present as numbered list; offer to open any specific article

To filter by type: Click the appropriate button in the top filter bar (文章, 社交媒体, etc.)

To refresh: Click the "刷新" button at the top of the article list pane

Output format:

## Folo 时间线 — [content type] ([count] 条未读)

1. **[Title]**
   - 来源: [Source] · [Time ago]
   - [Excerpt]
   - 链接: /timeline/articles/all/{id}

2. ...

Workflow 2 — Read a Specific Article

  1. If given an entry ID or URL, navigate to https://app.folo.is/timeline/articles/all/{id}
  2. Or click the article link from the timeline list
  3. Use browser_snapshot to read the right pane content
  4. The article pane contains the full text; extract and present it
  5. Note: AI summary ("AI 总结") requires Pro plan — mention if the user asks

Article pane toolbar buttons:

  • 标记为已读/未读 — Toggle read status
  • 收藏 — Star/favorite
  • 阅读模式 — Reader mode (cleaner view)
  • 查看原文 — Open original URL
  • 分享 — Share

Workflow 3 — Discover & Subscribe to Feeds

  2. The page shows trending feeds by default (with subscriber counts)
  3. To search: type in the textbox (placeholder: "Enter URL, RSSHub route, or keyword...") and click "搜索"
  4. Supported search inputs:
    • Keywords (e.g., "AI news", "科技")
    • Direct RSS URL (e.g., https://example.com/feed.xml)
    • RSSHub routes (e.g., rsshub://github/trending/daily/any)
    • Website URLs (auto-detected)
  5. Results show feed name, URL, subscriber count, and buttons: "预览" (Preview) | "订阅" (Subscribe)
  6. "已订阅" means already subscribed

Output format for search results:

## 搜索结果: "[query]"

1. **[Feed Name]**
   - 订阅者: [N] 人

  • "HTML 转 RSS" — Convert any webpage to RSS
  • "收件箱" — Email newsletter inbox
  • "关注用户" — Follow other Folo users
  • Tab "分类" — Browse feeds by category

Workflow 4 — Browse Trending Feeds

On the discover page, the default "趋势" tab shows popular feeds. Filters available:

  • Language filter (combobox, default: 全部/All)
  • Content type: 全部, 文章, 社交媒体, 图片, 视频, 音频, 通知

Each trending feed card shows rank, name, URL, subscriber count, and Subscribe/Already Subscribed button.

Handling Login

If you navigate to Folo and see a login dialog (dialog "Login"), immediately tell the user:

Folo 需要登录才能继续。请在浏览器中完成登录后告知我,我会继续操作。

Wait for the user to confirm login before proceeding.

Notes

  • RSSHub: Folo natively supports RSSHub routes for sites without native RSS (e.g., rsshub://36kr/hot-list, rsshub://bilibili/user/video/xxx)
  • Entry IDs: Article URLs contain 18-digit numeric IDs (e.g., 258443124254170112)
  • AI features: AI summaries and translation are Pro-only; mention this if relevant
  • Unread counts: Shown as badges next to feed groups (e.g., "99+", "21")
  • Efficiency tip: Use browser_snapshot rather than screenshots to read page content efficiently
  • Always use the web app: If Folo shows a prompt to download the desktop app, open the mobile app, or use a deep link (e.g., folo://...), ignore it and stay in the browser. Always navigate using https://app.folo.is/... URLs. Never suggest or follow desktop/mobile app links.
