blogwatcher

Monitor and track updates from blogs, RSS, and Atom feeds directly using the blogwatcher CLI within your OpenClaw assistant.

Introduction

The blogwatcher skill provides a robust command-line interface for managing and tracking web content updates. Designed for users who rely on RSS/Atom feeds to stay current with multiple information sources, this skill automates the polling process, ensuring you never miss a new post. It functions as a centralized hub for your digital reading list, allowing for efficient management of blog subscriptions, status scanning, and article tracking without needing a dedicated browser-based reader.

  • Add, list, and remove blog URLs with a simple command interface.

  • Automate scanning for new articles across multiple feeds simultaneously.

  • Mark individual articles as read or bulk-update all tracked content to keep your workspace clutter-free.

  • Lightweight CLI architecture ensures minimal resource usage while operating in the background.

  • Direct integration with RSS and Atom protocols ensures broad compatibility with standard web publishing formats.

  • Users should ensure the blogwatcher binary is installed via Go (go install github.com/Hyaxia/blogwatcher/cmd/blogwatcher@latest).

  • Use the scan command periodically to fetch the latest metadata from your tracked list.

  • The tool provides detailed summaries, including source type and number of new items found, making it ideal for daily information gathering.

  • Typical usage involves adding your favorite technical blogs, newsletters, or news feeds to the tracking list.

  • Constraints include manual management of the feed list via CLI commands; ensure that provided URLs are valid and reachable by the host machine. If you encounter issues, verify the feed format and network accessibility using standard command-line diagnostic tools.
