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

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 winsorllc/upgraded-carnival at 8fd52c772f.

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

About this skill

What it does

The rss-monitor skill allows an AI agent to monitor RSS feeds and alert you to new entries. It can be configured with specific URLs, providing a way to stay informed about updates from blogs, news sources, or other content providers. This enables proactive tracking of information without manual checking.

When to use it

  • News Tracking: Get notified immediately when new articles are published on your favorite news websites.
  • Blog Monitoring: Keep track of updates on specific blogs and receive alerts for new posts.
  • Project Updates: Monitor RSS feeds from project management tools or forums for important announcements.
  • Competitive Intelligence: Track competitor blog posts or product releases to stay ahead of the curve.

Key capabilities

  • RSS feed URL configuration
  • New entry detection
  • Alerting (mechanism unspecified in source)

Example prompts

  • "Monitor the RSS feed from [website address]."
  • "Tell me when there's a new post on [blog name]."
  • “What are the latest entries from this RSS feed: [URL]?”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires valid and accessible RSS feed URLs to function correctly. Ensure that the provided URL is a properly formatted RSS feed, not just a webpage.
