What is RSS Feed Digest?
RSS Feed Digest is an essential utility within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem designed to streamline how you consume information. It allows users to aggregate multiple RSS or Atom feeds, apply intelligent keyword filters, and output the results as a formatted Markdown or plain text document.
This skill is particularly valuable for developers and researchers who need to stay updated without manual browsing. By integrating this into your workflow, you can automate the discovery of relevant content, ensuring you only see the news that matters to your specific projects or interests.
RSS Feed Digest Use Cases
- Generating daily industry briefings for internal teams.
- Automating content curation for newsletters on platforms like Beehiiv or Substack.
- Monitoring competitor mentions or specific technology trends via keyword filters.
- Aggregating academic or industry research from multiple specialized feeds.
- Integrating with Openclaw heartbeat tasks for automated news checks.
How RSS Feed Digest Works
- The user provides a list of RSS/Atom feed URLs or a text file containing source links.
- The script connects to the specified feeds and fetches the latest items based on a defined time window.
- A filtering engine applies keyword inclusion or exclusion logic to narrow down the results to relevant topics.
- The system removes duplicate entries found across multiple feed sources to ensure a clean output.
- The final list is formatted into a Markdown or plain text file for easy reading or further processing.
RSS Feed Digest Setup
First, ensure you have the required dependency installed:
pip3 install feedparser
To run a basic fetch command from your Openclaw Skills directory:
python3 scripts/rss_digest.py fetch --feeds "https://hnrss.org/frontpage" --hours 24
RSS Feed Digest Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill processes feed data and produces structured outputs. It can ingest individual URLs or a .txt file containing a list of URLs. Below is the metadata taxonomy used during processing:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| Source | The origin RSS/Atom URL provided by the user. |
| Title | The headline of the feed item. |
| Link | The direct URL to the full article. |
| Summary | The excerpt or description provided by the feed source. |
| Timestamp | The publication date used for time-based filtering (hours/days). |
RSS Feed Digest Advanced Features
- Multi-source deduplication to prevent redundant information in consolidated digests.
- Batch processing support using external feed list files for large-scale monitoring.
- Flexible output formats including Markdown for seamless integration into static sites.
- Time-relative filtering allows for precise reporting on recent events.
