Description
Fetch, filter, and summarize RSS/Atom feeds into a clean daily or weekly digest. Supports multiple feeds, keyword filtering, deduplication, and outputs Markd...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent and appropriate for aggregating RSS/Atom feeds. Before installing or running it: (1) only supply trusted feed URLs (untrusted feeds could point to internal services or malicious endpoints); (2) install feedparser from PyPI in a controlled environment (virtualenv) and review the script if you plan to run it in an automated/privileged context (cron/heartbeat); (3) be aware output contains links and summaries—treat links like any external link and avoid executing downloaded content. If you need the agent to run autonomously against feeds you don't control, consider running it in network-isolated infrastructure.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: rss-feed-digest
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a standard RSS/Atom feed aggregator that fetches, filters, and formats news items into Markdown or text digests. The Python script (scripts/rss_digest.py) uses the reputable feedparser library and performs expected file and network operations without any signs of data exfiltration, obfuscation, or malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the provided code and SKILL.md. The Python script implements feed fetching, keyword include/exclude, deduplication, time filtering, and Markdown/plain-text output as described. The single dependency (feedparser) is appropriate for RSS/Atom parsing.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions tell the agent to run the included script against user-specified feed URLs or a feed-file. The script only fetches URLs, filters items, and writes local output. Caution: because it fetches arbitrary URLs, running this in an environment with access to internal networks could fetch internal endpoints (SSRF-like risk) if untrusted feed URLs are supplied; SKILL.md also suggests running via heartbeat/cron which increases frequency but is implementation-level, not inherent to the skill.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; the only runtime dependency is feedparser (pip3 install feedparser). This is a standard PyPI dependency and consistent with the script. No downloads from unknown hosts or archive extraction are present.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The code does not attempt to read environment secrets or other system configuration.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. The skill does not modify other skills or system settings and only writes output to a user-specified local file (or stdout).
How to Use
