Read RSS, Atom, JSON feeds; discover feeds behind a page. An agent skill from Luciole-Studio/Misaka-Agent.

  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Prerequisites, How to Run and Quick Reference, plus 3 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3; reaches hnrss.org and github.com

What it does

Rss Feeds is an agent skill from Luciole-Studio/Misaka-Agent. Read RSS, Atom, JSON feeds; discover feeds behind a page.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/feed.py`).

It works with Reddit. The repository describes itself as: A multi-agent research system for the humanities and social sciences. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/rss-feeds”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b94464a. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • hnrss.org
    • github.com
    • reddit.com
    • simonwillison.net
    • youtube.com
    • rss.arxiv.org

    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 Feeds loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 497 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

RSS Feeds Skill

Reads any RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0/RDF, Atom, or JSON Feed URL into a clean, date-sorted list of entries, and discovers the feed behind an ordinary page URL (<link rel="alternate"> or the usual /feed, /rss.xml, /atom.xml paths). Standard library only, nothing to install. It does not fetch full article bodies — pass an entry's link to web_extract for that.

When to Use

  • "What's new on <blog/site>", "latest releases of <GitHub repo>", "recent posts in <subreddit>", "read this feed", "does this site have an RSS feed".
  • Building a recurring digest with cronjob_manage (feeds are cheaper and more stable than scraping the HTML front page every run). For a persistent read/unread database across many feeds install the optional blogwatcher skill; this skill is the zero-install read.
  • Anything where a structured list of title / link / date / author / summary beats a rendered page: podcasts, changelogs, YouTube channels, newsrooms, forum categories.

Prerequisites

None. Python 3.10+, network access to the feed host.

How to Run

Run through terminal with the skill-relative script path:

bash
python3 scripts/feed.py read https://hnrss.org/frontpage --limit 10
python3 scripts/feed.py read https://simonwillison.net/            # page URL → discovers the feed
python3 scripts/feed.py read URL --since 2026-09-01 --json          # only newer entries, machine-readable
python3 scripts/feed.py discover https://example.com/               # list candidate feed URLs

Podcaststhe show's RSS URL from its hosting page (discover finds it)

Output fields per entry: title, link, published (UTC ISO 8601), author, summary (HTML stripped, ≤ 2000 chars). Entries are sorted newest-first.

Procedure

① If you only have a site URL, run read on it directly; the script discovers the feed and reports which URL it used (discovered_from). Use discover when you want to choose between several advertised feeds (comments feed vs posts feed, per-category feeds).

② Bound the request: --limit for "latest N", --since YYYY-MM-DD for "since last check". For a cron digest persist the last-seen published value and pass it as --since next run.

③ For full text, hand the entry link to web_extract; feed summaries are frequently truncated or the first paragraph only.

④ Cite the entry link, not the feed URL, when the result feeds a report (grounded-citations).

Pitfalls

  • A 200 response with HTML means the URL is a page, not a feed; the script falls through to discovery automatically, but a site with no <link rel="alternate"> and none of the common paths reports no feed found — check the site's footer or /sitemap.xml before concluding there is none.
  • Reddit feeds share Reddit's anonymous throttle (about one request per minute per IP). Chain them through reddit-reading, which waits out the window, when you need more than one Reddit call.
  • Dates: RSS pubDate is RFC 822 and Atom uses ISO 8601; the script normalises both to UTC. Feeds that omit dates sort to the bottom and are dropped by --since.
  • Some feeds are Cloudflare-fronted and 403 non-browser clients; blocked-page-recovery handles that class.

Verification

python3 scripts/feed.py read https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/releases.atom --limit 1 prints one entry with a releases/tag/ link and a [atom] format tag; discover https://simonwillison.net/ prints an /atom/ URL.
