What This Skill Does

The openclaw-feeds skill is a high-performance, asynchronous RSS aggregator designed to provide OpenClaw users with real-time news, gaming updates, and financial intelligence. By bypassing traditional, resource-heavy web search tools, this skill provides a direct, low-latency pipeline to curated journalism. It fetches headlines concurrently from over 50 trusted sources, covering categories such as global news, tech industry analysis, major financial markets, and the latest in digital entertainment.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your agent workspace, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/nesdeq/openclaw-feeds

Ensure that you have access to the source repository at openclaw/skills for subsequent updates. No additional API keys or complex configuration files are required, as the skill utilizes native scripts to parse structured data directly from pre-defined RSS feeds stored in scripts/lists.py.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for professionals and enthusiasts who require rapid, reliable situational awareness without the noise of general web search results.

• Morning Briefings: Quickly scan major headlines from outlets like the NYT, Reuters, or FT.
• Market Surveillance: Keep tabs on equity markets, crypto-assets, and central bank commentary through specialized finance feeds.
• Industry Tracking: Stay updated on software developments, game launches, and hardware releases from sources like Ars Technica and IGN.

Example Prompts

1. "What's the latest in tech news and gaming headlines today?"
2. "Give me a finance roundup, focus on what's moving the markets."
3. "Was geht mit Nachrichten? I need a summary of the current top headlines."

Tips & Limitations

• Constraints: This skill is strictly designed for RSS aggregation. It does NOT use web search or browser tools. It cannot access pages behind paywalls that are not provided through the RSS feed metadata.
• Deduplication: When multiple feeds report on the same major story, the skill logic clusters them. Look for the 'cross-source coverage' indicator in your agent's response to identify breaking news that is trending across several outlets.
• Efficiency: Since the skill fetches data concurrently, you can request multiple categories (news, games, finance) in a single turn to receive a comprehensive dashboard of information. Always refer to the source links provided in the output for deeper reading.
