Description

Agentic feed digest using the feed CLI. Fetch, triage, and summarize RSS/Atom/JSON feeds to surface high-signal posts. Use when: (1) reading feeds or catching up on news, (2) user asks for a digest, roundup, or summary of recent posts, (3) user asks what's new or interesting today, (4) user mentions feed, RSS, blogs, or subscriptions.

README (SKILL.md)

RSS Digest

Name: Feed Digest
Author: odysseus0

Surface what's worth reading from your feeds. Requires feed CLI (brew install odysseus0/tap/feed).

Workflow

Fetch — feed fetch to pull latest entries.
Scan — feed get entries --limit 50 for recent unread (title, feed, date, summary).
Triage — Pick 5-10 high-signal posts. Prioritize: AI progress, systems engineering, developer tools, anything surprising or contrarian.
Read — feed get entry \x3Cid> for each pick (full post as Markdown).
Synthesize — For each post: title, source, 2-3 sentence summary of why it matters. Group by theme if natural clusters emerge.
Mark read — feed update entries --read \x3Cid1> \x3Cid2> ... to mark triaged entries as read.

Commands

feed fetch                              # pull latest from all feeds
feed get entries --limit N              # list unread entries (table)
feed get entries --feed \x3Cid> --limit N  # filter by feed
feed get entry \x3Cid>                     # read full post (Markdown)
feed search "\x3Cquery>"                   # full-text search
feed update entries --read \x3Cid> ...     # batch mark read
feed get feeds                          # list feeds with unread counts
feed get stats                          # database stats

Notes

Default output is table — most token-efficient for scanning. Avoid -o json.
feed get entry \x3Cid> returns Markdown — read this for the actual post content.
Filter by feed if too many entries: --feed \x3Cfeed_id>.

Usage Guidance

This skill is coherent with its description, but before installing: (1) inspect the Homebrew tap and GitHub repo (odysseus0/feed) to ensure you trust the author, (2) prefer installing in a controlled environment or sandbox if you have concerns, (3) be aware the tool will fetch remote feeds and modify your local feed database (it will mark items as read), and (4) if you subscribe to private authenticated feeds, understand the CLI may use stored credentials—verify how those are stored/used. If you don't trust the tap/repo, don't install the formula; consider running the CLI manually after reviewing its source.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: feed-digest Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to use the `feed` CLI tool for digesting RSS/Atom/JSON feeds. All commands and workflow steps described in `SKILL.md` are directly related to the stated purpose of fetching, triaging, reading, and summarizing feed entries. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, obfuscation, or prompt injection with harmful intent. The dependency on an external `feed` CLI tool (from `odysseus0/tap/feed` or `github.com/odysseus0/feed`) is clearly stated and its usage is aligned with the skill's function, without any indication of malicious exploitation of the tool itself.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name/description (feed digest) match the declared requirement of a single 'feed' CLI binary and the SKILL.md commands. No unrelated credentials, files, or binaries are requested.

ℹ Instruction Scope

Instructions are narrowly scoped to running the 'feed' CLI: fetch entries, read specific entries, triage and summarize, and mark entries read. This will read feed content and modify the local feed DB/state (marking items read); the skill does not request unrelated system files or environment variables. Be aware the agent will run network fetches and change local feed state.

⚠ Install Mechanism

Install options are a third-party Homebrew tap (odysseus0/tap/feed) and a Go package from github.com/odysseus0/feed. Both are traceable but not an official core/homebrew formula — installing will build/run code from that author. Verify the tap/repo before installation because those install sources can execute arbitrary code on your machine.

✓ Credentials

No environment variables or external credentials are requested by the skill definition. Note that the 'feed' CLI itself may access user feed configuration or credentials for private feeds (not declared here). The lack of requested credentials is consistent with a public-feed reader skill.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

Skill is not always-enabled and does not request system-wide privileges beyond installing/running the 'feed' binary. Runtime actions include marking items read in the local feed database (normal for this purpose). Installation will place a binary via Homebrew or Go tooling (expected behavior).
