What it does

Rss Digest is an agent skill from amd/gaia. Read an RSS or Atom feed and summarize the newest entries. Use when the user gives a feed URL, asks what a blog or release feed has published lately, or wants a digest of a site that offers a feed.

Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `tools.py`).

The repository describes itself as: Build AI agents for your PC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user gives a feed URL
  • Asks what a blog
  • Release feed has published lately
  • Wants a digest of a site that offers a feed

Example prompts

  • “/rss-digest”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c3bb5c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Rss Digest loads about 787 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 371 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~787

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

RSS Digest

The pack's one tool-providing skill. Every other starter skill is a procedure over tools the agent already has; this one ships its own code in tools.py and registers it as rss-digest/fetch_rss.

It exists to show the shape: a manifest entry per @tool function, matching the signature exactly, plus the network:read permission the tool actually uses.

Procedure

  1. Fetch the feed with rss-digest/fetch_rss(url, max_entries=10). It returns {"feed_title": ..., "entries": [{"title", "link", "published", "summary"}], "count": N} in feed order — conventionally newest first, but the feed decides, so read the published values rather than assuming.
  2. If the call returns an error key, report it verbatim. A malformed feed, a 404, a blocked host, a feed with no recognizable entries, and a feed carrying a DTD are all real answers; an invented digest is not.
  3. Digest the entries. One line per entry: what it is and why it might matter, with its link. Group by theme when more than five entries share one.
  4. Lead with the exception. If one entry is materially different from the usual traffic on this feed — a breaking change, a security release, a shutdown notice — put it first and label it.
  5. Say the range you covered — feed title, entry count, and the oldest date included — so the user knows what was and was not read.

Notes

  • The tool follows GAIA's WebClient, so private and loopback addresses are refused. Point it at a public feed.
  • Feeds declaring a DTD are refused rather than parsed: entity expansion is a denial-of-service vector, and no real feed needs one.
  • RSS 1.0 / RDF feeds are not supported and report an error rather than an empty digest — "nothing published" and "I could not read this" must never look alike.
  • Entry summaries in feeds are frequently truncated or HTML-laden. Treat them as a headline, not the article; say so rather than over-reading a stub.

Fork this

Copy the directory and edit tools.py — that is the whole point of a tool skill. Parse a JSON API instead of XML, or add a since parameter for date-bounded fetches. Whatever you change in the signature, mirror in metadata.gaia.tools: the loader compares them and refuses the skill if they disagree, so a stale manifest can never ship.
