Fetch and triage the latest unread RSS/news entries from a Miniflux instance via its REST API using an API token.

  • The user asks to get the latest Miniflux unread items

What it does

Miniflux News is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Fetch and triage the latest unread RSS/news entries from a Miniflux instance via its REST API using an API token. Use when the user asks to get the latest Miniflux unread items, list recent entries with titles/links, or generate short summaries of specific Miniflux entries. Includes a bundled script to query Miniflux (/v1/entries and /v1/entries/{id}) using credentials from ~/.config/clawdbot/miniflux-news.json (or MINIFLUXURL and MINIFLUXTOKEN overrides).

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/miniflux-api-notes.md` and `scripts/miniflux.py`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to get the latest Miniflux unread items
  • List recent entries with titles/links
  • Generate short summaries of specific Miniflux entries

Example prompts

  • “/miniflux-news”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in MINIFLUX_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • MINIFLUX_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Miniflux News loads about 884 tokens when it runs, and up to ~972 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 270 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~119
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~884
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~972

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 270 words (~884 tokens).

“Use the bundled script to fetch entries, then format a clean list and optionally write summaries.”
