Rss Aggregator

What This Skill Does

The Rss Aggregator is a sophisticated content processing engine designed for users who need to track industry news without information overload. Unlike standard RSS readers, this agent utilizes a cross-source merging algorithm and state-aware memory to ensure that every summary you receive is both unique and relevant. It acts as an intelligent filter that not only crawls and extracts core text but also cross-references daily history to prevent duplicate alerts. By implementing a strict 'pure incremental' policy, the agent ensures that whether you run it once or ten times a day, your briefing remains fresh and devoid of previously seen content.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw command-line interface. Ensure your system has the necessary permissions to read and write to the local file system for log management. Execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hooila/rss-aggregator

Use Cases

• Professional News Monitoring: Stay updated on AI developments by aggregating multiple technical blogs without visiting dozens of websites.
• Information Filtering: Reduce noise by discarding marketing spam, low-quality clickbait, and duplicate announcements automatically.
• Periodic Briefing: Configure the agent for scheduled runs to receive a distilled, high-density newsletter delivered exactly when you need it.

Example Prompts

• "Process my RSS feeds now and generate today's briefing using the incremental update logic."
• "Run the RSS aggregator and ensure that only news from the last four hours is included in the new report."
• "Check the current feed sources and update the pushed_history.log before sending me the final text-based summary."

Tips & Limitations

• Data Integrity: The agent relies on the pushed_history.log file. Keep this file safe; deleting it will cause previously read articles to reappear in your next update.
• Content Quality: The is_abuse filter is an automated internal check. If you find important news being skipped, verify that the source website isn't triggering anti-scraping flags or injecting excessive promotional banners.
• Formatting: The output is strictly enforced to follow a specific layout. Do not attempt to modify the output template, as this may break the parser if you are piping this output into other automated workflows.
