What This Skill Does

The rss-ai-reader is an intelligent automation agent designed to streamline your content consumption workflow. It functions by continuously polling user-defined RSS or Atom feeds, processing new entries through advanced LLMs (Claude or OpenAI), and generating concise, human-readable Chinese summaries. Instead of manual browsing, the agent intelligently filters updates and pushes personalized digests directly to your preferred communication platforms, including Feishu, Telegram, and Email. It features a built-in SQLite database to ensure articles are not processed or pushed multiple times, keeping your notifications clean and clutter-free.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw command-line interface. Ensure your local machine has Python 3.8+ installed. Run the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/benzema216/rss-ai-reader. After installation, navigate to the skill directory, copy the configuration template (cp config.yaml my_config.yaml), and provide your LLM API keys and Webhook URLs. Finally, you can initialize the monitor with python main.py to start background tasks.

Use Cases

1. Technical Intelligence: Stay updated with the latest trends by subscribing to Hacker News, V2EX, or specific technology blogs. The AI will extract key insights so you don't have to read full-length articles.
2. Daily News Digest: Configure the agent to fetch news from your favorite media outlets every morning, sending a high-level summary to your team's Feishu group for a quick morning update.
3. Research & Monitoring: Monitor niche academic repositories like arXiv or competitor websites. The tool will flag only the most relevant updates, saving hours of manual scouting time.
4. Information Synthesis: Keep up with multiple industry thought leaders by letting the agent consolidate multiple feeds into a single, summarized report delivered to your inbox.

Example Prompts

1. "帮我订阅阮一峰的博客，每天早上8点整理一份摘要发到飞书群里。"
2. "监控这个科技新闻网站，如果有关于AI的新文章，帮我抓取并总结发到Telegram。"
3. "设置一个定时任务，每隔6小时检查一次RSS feed，并将更新的内容摘要通过邮件发送给我。"

Tips & Limitations

• API Costs: Since this tool uses LLMs, be mindful of your token usage for Claude or OpenAI, especially if you subscribe to very high-frequency feeds.
• Rate Limiting: Avoid adding too many feeds with very short refresh intervals to respect source website terms of service.
• Error Handling: Always ensure your API credentials in config.yaml are secure and never committed to public repositories. If the agent stops sending notifications, check your network connectivity to the Webhook provider and ensure the database file is not locked by another process.
