The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Monitor RSS and Atom feeds from blogs, news sites, and podcasts to track new posts. Uses the feedparser Python library — no API keys required for most feeds.
pip install feedparser
import feedparser

feed = feedparser.parse("https://news.ycombinator.com/rss")
print(f"Feed: {feed.feed.title}")
print(f"Posts: {len(feed.entries)}\n")
for entry in feed.entries[:5]:
title = entry.get("title", "No title")
link = entry.get("link", "")
date = entry.get("published", "Unknown date")
print(f"• {title}\n {link}\n {date}\n")
