Feedship Skill
Version: 1.5 For: Claude Code and OpenClaw compatible agents Description: Manage information feeds, subscribe to RSS/GitHub sources, and search articles
Setup
Before using this skill, install feedship with ML and cloud extras:
uv tool install 'feedship[ml,cloudflare]' --python 3.12 --force
Note:
cloudflareextra provides scrapling (HTML fetching);mlextra provides sentence-transformers + chromadb (semantic search). Both are required for full functionality.
China / Restricted Networks
For environments where PyPI or HuggingFace is not accessible, use mirrors:
# Add to ~/.bashrc for persistence
echo 'export HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PIP_INDEX_URL=https://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple/' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
# Install
uv tool install 'feedship[cloudflare,ml]' --force
Upgrade
# From PyPI (if accessible)
uv tool upgrade feedship
# From GitHub (latest commits)
uv tool install 'feedship @ git+https://github.com/yanpeipan/feedship.git' \
--pip-args='-i https://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple/ --trusted-host mirrors.aliyun.com' \
--include-deps --force
After installation, verify with: feedship --version
First-time setup for semantic search: After installing, run
feedship fetch --allto populate the vector database with article embeddings. Semantic search requires embeddings to be generated first (chromadb storage).

Common Patterns
Initial Setup
# Add a website feed
feedship feed add https://example.com --automatic on
# Fetch all feeds
feedship fetch --all
# View recent articles
feedship article list --limit 50
Daily Workflow
# Fetch new articles
feedship fetch --all
# Search for topics
feedship search "machine learning" --semantic
# Read an article
feedship article view abc12345
# Open in browser for full view
feedship article open abc12345
Feed Management
# List feeds
feedship feed list -v
# Remove stale feed
feedship feed remove old123
# Discover new feeds on site
feedship discover news-site.com --discover-depth 2
Scheduled Fetching (OpenClaw Best Practice)
For automated periodic fetching, use platform-specific schedulers:
macOS (LaunchAgent):
\x3C!-- ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.feedship.fetch.plist -->
\x3Ckey>ProgramArguments\x3C/key>\x3Carray>\x3Cstring>/usr/local/bin/feedship\x3C/string>\x3Cstring>fetch\x3C/string>\x3Cstring>--all\x3C/string>\x3C/array>
\x3Ckey>StartInterval\x3C/key>\x3Cinteger>3600\x3C/integer> \x3C!-- every hour -->
Linux (systemd timer):
# ~/.config/systemd/user/feedship.timer
[Timer] OnBootSec=5min OnUnitActiveSec=1h
Cron:
0 * * * * feedship fetch --all >> ~/.feedship/fetch.log 2>&1
OpenClaw Cron (every 30 minutes):
openclaw cron add \
--name "feedship-fetch" \
--agent agent \
--cron "*/30 * * * *" \
--tz Asia/Shanghai \
--session isolated \
--message "uv run --with feedship[ml,cloudflare] feedship fetch --all" \
--timeout-seconds 1800
Optional Dependencies
ML Extra (pip install feedship[ml])
Required for semantic search and related articles:
- sentence-transformers
- chromadb
- torch
Cloudflare Extra (pip install feedship[cloudflare])
For enhanced web scraping with:
- browserforge
- playwright
- curl-cffi
- 确保已安装 OpenClaw(本地或 Docker 部署)
- 在对话框中输入安装命令:
/install feedship - 安装完成后,直接呼叫该 Skill 的名称或使用
/feedship触发 - 根据 Skill 的参数说明提供必要输入,即可获得结构化输出
