Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rss-digest scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

RSS Digest

Fetches RSS/Atom feeds, filters by keywords, and generates AI-summarized digests.

When to Use

  • User wants a daily/weekly digest of their RSS feeds
  • Monitoring topics across multiple sources
  • Building a curated reading list with summaries

Commands

# Digest from a single feed
bun run rss-digest/scripts/digest.ts --url <feed-url>

# Digest from feeds.json config (incremental — auto-calculates since lastRun)
bun run rss-digest/scripts/digest.ts --feeds feeds.json

# Digest from OPML export
bun run rss-digest/scripts/digest.ts --opml feeds.opml --hours 48

# Raw article list (no AI summary)
bun run rss-digest/scripts/digest.ts --feeds feeds.json --raw

feeds.json Format

{
  "feeds": [
    "https://example.com/feed",
    "https://another.com/rss"
  ],
  "lastRun": "2026-02-18T00:00:00Z",
  "keywords": ["education", "AI"],
  "noKeywords": ["sponsored", "advertisement"]
}

Requirements

  • GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable
  • Output goes to output/digests/ by default

Key Feature: Incremental Fetching

When using --feeds, the script reads lastRun from the config and only fetches articles published since then. After running, it updates lastRun automatically. Never manually specify --hours unless overriding.

Output

Markdown digest with executive summary, themed article groups, and "Worth Reading" highlights.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
