SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping up with new posts across many blogs and RSS/Atom feeds requires manually checking each site, which is tedious and easy to forget. This Skill automates feed discovery, scanning, and read/unread tracking so you never miss an update. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Feed Monitoring: Add blogs with automatic RSS/Atom feed discovery, HTML scraping fallback, and OPML import from readers like Feedly or Inoreader. - Article Management: Scan blogs for new posts, list unread articles, filter by blog or category, and mark items read or unread. - Use Case: Import your OPML subscription file, run a scan across all tracked blogs, and get a consolidated list of unread articles filtered by category such as Engineering. ## Quick Start Use the blogwatcher skill to add the blog at https://example.com, scan it for new posts, and show me all unread articles.

Frequently Asked Questions about blogwatcher

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor RSS feeds from the command line?▼

Use blogwatcher-cli to add blogs with the add command, then run scan to fetch new articles from their RSS or Atom feeds. Unread articles are listed with the articles command and can be filtered by blog or category.

How to import OPML subscriptions into a feed reader CLI?▼

Run blogwatcher-cli import subscriptions.opml to bulk-import blogs from an OPML file. This works with exports from Feedly, Inoreader, NewsBlur, and other feed readers.

Can blogwatcher-cli track blogs without an RSS feed?▼

Yes, blogs without feeds can be tracked using HTML scraping. Add the blog with the --scrape-selector flag specifying a CSS selector like 'article h2 a', and the tool falls back to scraping when RSS fails.

Does blogwatcher-cli work in Docker with persistent storage?▼

Yes, run the Docker image with a volume mount and set BLOGWATCHER_DB to a path inside the mounted volume. Without this, the SQLite database at ~/.blogwatcher-cli is lost when the container restarts.

Why is my blog scan not finding new articles?▼

Scans may find nothing if the feed URL is wrong, the site blocks requests, or articles were already marked read. Verify the feed with the blogs command, try an explicit --feed-url, or check articles --all to see previously recorded items.
