What it does
Blog Feed Monitor is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Scrape blog posts via RSS feeds (free, no API key) with Apify fallback for JS-heavy sites. Use when you need to monitor competitor blogs, track industry content, or aggregate blog posts by keyword.
Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/scrape_blogs.py` and `skill.meta.json`).
It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping and Blog and article writing. It works with Apify. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- You need to monitor competitor blogs
- Track industry content
- Aggregate blog posts by keyword
Example prompts
- “/blog-feed-monitor”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- For each URL, tries to discover an RSS/Atom feed
- Parses discovered feeds (supports RSS 2.0 and Atom)
- If any URLs fail, falls back to Apify jupri/rss-xml-scraper (if token available)
- Applies date and keyword filtering client-side
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4bbe1ef. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
Blog Feed Monitor loads about 578 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 208 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Blog Feed Monitor
Scrape blog posts via RSS/Atom feeds (free) with optional Apify fallback for JS-heavy sites.
Quick Start
No API key needed for RSS mode.
# Scrape a blog's RSS feed
python3 skills/blog-feed-monitor/scripts/scrape_blogs.py \
--urls "https://example.com/blog" --days 30
# Multiple blogs with keyword filter
python3 skills/blog-feed-monitor/scripts/scrape_blogs.py \
--urls "https://blog1.com,https://blog2.com" --keywords "AI,marketing" --output summary
# Force Apify for JS-heavy sites
python3 skills/blog-feed-monitor/scripts/scrape_blogs.py \
--urls "https://example.com" --mode apifyHow It Works
Auto Mode (default)
- For each URL, tries to discover an RSS/Atom feed:
- Checks HTML
<link rel="alternate">tags - Probes common paths:
/feed,/rss,/atom.xml,/feed.xml,/rss.xml,/blog/feed,/index.xml
- Checks HTML
- Parses discovered feeds (supports RSS 2.0 and Atom)
- If any URLs fail, falls back to Apify
jupri/rss-xml-scraper(if token available) - Applies date and keyword filtering client-side
Note: The Apify fallback actor
jupri/rss-xml-scrapermay need updating -- it has not been verified recently. RSS mode works reliably without it.
RSS Mode
Only tries RSS feeds, no Apify fallback.
Apify Mode
Uses Apify actor directly, skipping RSS discovery.
CLI Reference
| Flag | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--urls | required | Blog URL(s), comma-separated |
--keywords | none | Keywords to filter (comma-separated, OR logic) |
--days | 30 | Only include posts from last N days |
--max-posts | 50 | Max posts to return |
--mode | auto | auto (RSS + fallback), rss (RSS only), apify (Apify only) |
--output | json | Output format: json or summary |
--token | env var | Apify token (only needed for Apify mode/fallback) |
--timeout | 300 | Max seconds for Apify run |
Cost
- RSS mode: Free (no API, no tokens)
- Apify mode: Uses
