Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

    Hosts contacted

    github.comsource host

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned tiangong-ai/skills at 5e69246170.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill, Ai Tech Rss Fetch, allows an AI agent to subscribe to RSS/Atom feeds from URLs or OPML files and persistently store their metadata in a SQLite database. It focuses on reliably fetching and deduplicating feed entries without retrieving the full article content or generating summaries. The primary function is to maintain a stable record of feed information for downstream processing.

When to use it

  • You need to track updates from multiple tech news sources.
  • You require a reliable, persistent store of RSS feed metadata.
  • You want to avoid fetching full article content and generating summaries as part of the initial data collection process.
  • You're building an AI agent that requires access to recent tech news headlines and basic information without needing the complete articles.
  • You need a system for deduplicating RSS feed entries across multiple runs.

Key capabilities

  • Subscribes to RSS/Atom feeds from URLs or OPML files.
  • Persists feed metadata (feed URL, title, site URL, etc.) and entry metadata (title, author, published date, summary hash, etc.) to a SQLite database.
  • Deduplicates entries using layered identity keys and content fingerprints.
  • Supports incremental synchronization of feeds.
  • Provides configurable parameters for database path, feed URLs, maximum number of feeds/items per run, and more.

Example prompts

  • "Subscribe to the RSS feed at https://example.com/feed.xml."
  • "Import the tech blogs from this OPML file: assets/hn-popular-blogs-2025.opml."
  • "Run a sync of all subscribed feeds, limiting it to 20 feeds with 100 items per feed."

Tips & gotchas

  • Database Path: In multi-agent environments, ensure you explicitly set the AI_RSS_DB_PATH environment variable to an absolute path before running any commands.
  • No Summaries: This skill does not fetch full article bodies or generate summaries. It only stores metadata.
  • Dependency Installation: Requires feedparser Python package: python3 -m pip install feedparser.
