RSS Digest Skill

RSS never died — every blog, newsroom, podcast, release page, and status page still speaks it, keylessly, and it remains the cleanest way for an agent to answer "what's new from the sources I care about." This skill fetches feeds with curl, parses the two dialects (RSS 2.0 and Atom) without ceremony, and produces what the user actually wanted: a dated, deduplicated briefing with one line of substance per item — not thirty titles.

What This Skill Produces

• The digest — items with date, source, title, and a one-line what-it-actually-says from the item's own description
• Cross-feed dedup — the same story via three feeds appears once, sources noted
• The since-filter — "what's new" means since the user last asked or a stated window, applied
• The commands — one curl per feed, rerunnable

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

• The feed URLs — or the site ("find the feed" is part of the job: try /feed, /rss, /atom.xml, /index.xml, and the <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"> tag in the page head)
• The window — today, this week, since a date — "what's new" needs an epoch
• The lens — everything, or filtered to a topic; a briefing has a reader, and the reader has interests
