blogwatcher is a CLI skill for tracking blog and RSS or Atom feed updates with add, scan, list, and read commands.
About
Blogwatcher is a lightweight CLI skill for monitoring blogs and RSS or Atom feeds through the blogwatcher binary. Install via go install github.com/Hyaxia/blogwatcher/cmd/blogwatcher@latest as documented in OpenClaw metadata requiring the blogwatcher bin. Quick start begins with blogwatcher --help. Core commands add a blog with blogwatcher add, list tracked blogs via blogwatcher blogs, scan for updates with blogwatcher scan, list articles with blogwatcher articles, mark one article read with blogwatcher read, mark all read with blogwatcher read-all, and remove a blog with blogwatcher remove. Example scan output reports per-blog source type RSS, found count, and new article count, then totals new articles across all tracked feeds. The skill is intentionally minimal: agents discover additional flags through per-command --help. Typical workflow adds feed URLs, periodically scans, surfaces new articles, and marks items read to keep an unread queue manageable for content monitoring or research digests.
