RSS Feeds Skill

Reads any RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0/RDF, Atom, or JSON Feed URL into a clean, date-sorted list of entries, and discovers the feed behind an ordinary page URL (<link rel="alternate"> or the usual /feed, /rss.xml, /atom.xml paths). Standard library only, nothing to install. It does not fetch full article bodies — pass an entry's link to web_extract for that.

When to Use

• "What's new on <blog/site>", "latest releases of ", "recent posts in ", "read this feed", "does this site have an RSS feed".
• Building a recurring digest with cronjob_manage (feeds are cheaper and more stable than scraping the HTML front page every run). For a persistent read/unread database across many feeds install the optional blogwatcher skill; this skill is the zero-install read.
• Anything where a structured list of title / link / date / author / summary beats a rendered page: podcasts, changelogs, YouTube channels, newsrooms, forum categories.
