About

Imported from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills (skills/openclaw-feeds/SKILL.md). Install upstream with npx skills add sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills --skill openclaw-feeds. Copyright stays with the author (MIT).

Feeds

RSS news aggregator. Fetches all current entries from curated feeds across three categories — news, games, and finance. Concurrent fetching, streamed JSON output. No API key needed.

Constraint

Do NOT use web search, WebFetch, browser tools, or any other URL-fetching tool when this skill is active. The RSS feeds are the sole data source. Do not supplement, verify, or expand results with external searches. Do not fetch article URLs — summaries are already included in the output.

Categories

Detect the category from the user's message:

  • "news", "headlines", "nachrichten", "tech news" → news
  • "finance", "markets", "money", "stocks", "economy" → finance
  • "games", "gaming" → games
Category Feeds Sources
news 21 Ars Technica, Wired, TechCrunch, The Verge, NYT, Heise, Quanta, Aeon, Nautilus, and more
games 10 GameStar, GamesGlobal, PC Gamer, Polygon, Kotaku, IGN, Rock Paper Shotgun, GamesIndustry.biz
finance 26 Bloomberg, WSJ, FT, CNBC, MarketWatch, Seeking Alpha, The Economist, Forbes, CoinDesk, Fed, ECB

Feed lists are defined in scripts/lists.py.

How to Invoke

Run one invocation per category. Run multiple if the user asks for more than one.

python3 scripts/feeds.py --category news
python3 scripts/feeds.py --category games
python3 scripts/feeds.py --category finance

Output Format

The script streams a JSON array. The first element is metadata, the rest are entries:

[{"category": "news", "total_entries": 142, "sources": ["aeon.co", "arstechnica.com"], "fetched_at": "2026-01-31 22:00:00"}
,{"title": "Headline Here", "url": "https://example.com/article", "source": "arstechnica.com", "date": "Fri, 31 Jan 2026 12:00:00 GMT", "summary": "Brief summary text..."}
]
Field Description
title Headline text
url Link to full article
source Domain name of the feed source
date Publication date as provided by the feed
summary Brief description, HTML stripped, max 500 chars

CLI Reference

Flag Description
-c, --category Feed category: news, games, or finance (required)

Presenting Results

After parsing the output, present a structured, concise rundown:

  1. Group by theme — cluster related stories under headings (e.g. "Tech & Industry", "Science", "Markets", "Crypto")
  2. Keep it tight — headline + one-line summary + source attribution per item
  3. Link to sources — use markdown links so the user can read more
  4. Deduplicate — if multiple feeds cover the same story, mention it once and note cross-source coverage
  5. Highlight big stories — if a story appears across 3+ sources, call it out prominently

Example output:

### Tech & Industry
- **[Headline](url)** — One-line summary *(Source)*
- **[Headline](url)** — One-line summary *(Source)*

### Science
- **[Headline](url)** — One-line summary *(Source)*

Edge Cases

  • Failed or timed-out feeds (15s timeout) are silently skipped — remaining feeds still return results.
  • If zero entries are returned, the script exits with {"error": "No entries found", "category": "..."}.
  • Some entries may lack summaries — they will still have title, URL, and source.
