RSS Digest

Surface what's worth reading from RSS feeds. Requires feed CLI (brew install odysseus0/tap/feed).

Workflow

• Scan — feed get entries --limit 50 for recent unread (title, feed, date, URL, summary). Auto-fetches if stale. If 0 results, run feed get stats — if 0 feeds, import starter set: feed import https://github.com/odysseus0/feed/raw/main/hn-popular-blogs-2025.opml and retry.
• Triage — Pick 5-10 high-signal posts based on the user's prompt. If no specific interest given, prioritize surprising, contrarian, or unusually insightful pieces.
• Read + Synthesize — For each picked entry, read the full content and summarize in 2-3 sentences. Prefer fetching the URL directly (e.g. WebFetch) if available — keeps full text out of context. Otherwise use feed get entry to read the stored content. Parallelize when possible.
• Present — Compile the summaries into a digest. Group by theme if natural clusters emerge.

Commands

feed get entries --limit N              # list unread entries (table)
feed get entries --feed <id> --limit N  # filter by feed
feed get entry <id>                     # read full post (markdown)
feed fetch                              # pull latest from all feeds
feed search "<query>"                   # full-text search
feed update entries --read <id> ...     # batch mark read
feed get feeds                          # list feeds with unread counts
feed get stats                          # database stats

Notes

• The entries table includes full URLs. Prefer fetching URLs directly (keeps full text out of your context window). Fall back to feed get entry if you don't have a web fetch tool.
• Do NOT mark entries as read. The user decides what to mark read.
• Default output is table — most token-efficient for scanning. Avoid -o json.
• Filter by feed if too many entries: --feed .
