# RSS Digest Skill RSS never died — every blog, newsroom, podcast, release page, and status page still speaks it, keylessly, and it remains the cleanest way for an agent to answer "what's new from the sources I care about." This skill fetches feeds with curl, parses the two dialects (RSS 2.0 and Atom) without ceremony, and produces what the user actually wanted: a dated, deduplicated briefing with one line of substance per item — not thirty titles. ## What This Skill Produces - **The digest** — items with date, source, title, and a one-line what-it-actually-says from the item's own description - **Cross-feed dedup** — the same story via three feeds appears once, sources noted - **The since-filter** — "what's new" means since the user last asked or a stated window, applied - **The commands** — one curl per feed, rerunnable ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The feed URLs** — or the site ("find the feed" is part of the job: try `/feed`, `/rss`, `/atom.xml`, `/index.xml`, and the `<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">` tag in the page head) - **The window** — today, this week, since a date — "what's new" needs an epoch - **The lens** — everything, or fil

From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
