RSS Reader

RSS Reader brings the classic feed protocol into your AI agent workflow. Subscribe to any RSS or Atom feed — blogs, podcasts, government data releases, product changelogs, job boards — and poll them on a schedule you define. No API key needed; if the feed is public, the skill can read it.

Smart filtering is where this skill earns its keep. You define keyword rules, author filters, and minimum content-length thresholds so your agent only surfaces entries that genuinely matter. Regex patterns let you exclude noise like sponsored content tags or promotional slugs. When a matching item appears, the skill returns the full parsed object: title, link, publication date, author, categories, and full text if the feed includes it.

Batch mode lets you subscribe to hundreds of feeds simultaneously and receive a unified timeline sorted by recency or relevance score. Export options include JSON, CSV, and Markdown, making it easy to pipe results into Notion, Obsidian, or a daily digest email via Email Send. The skill also detects and handles malformed feeds gracefully, normalizing encoding issues that commonly break naive RSS parsers. Content creators, researchers, and developers tracking library release notes rely on RSS Reader as a zero-cost, privacy-friendly alternative to paid monitoring services.
