Monitor blogs and RSS/Atom feeds for updates using the blogwatcher CLI.

  • Calls go; reaches xkcd.com

What it does

Blogwatcher is an agent skill from trpc-group/trpc-agent-go. Monitor blogs and RSS/Atom feeds for updates using the blogwatcher CLI.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A Go framework for building production agent systems with graph workflows, tools, memory, A2A, AG-UI, MCP, evaluation, and observability. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/blogwatcher”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9bb1c42. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • go

    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:

    • xkcd.com

    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

Blogwatcher loads about 354 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 75 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~354

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.
