feed-digest

feed-digest is a skill for Claude Code from ManiaSacha/web-mcp. It costs 53 tokens per session (614 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning indexed RSS and Atom feeds—websites’ machine-readable article lists—into a short research summary. It helps an agent group and explain recent items instead of repeating raw search results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for requests such as what is happening in AI this week, a summary of news about a topic, or a digest of the last day.
Why use it?
It removes the need to read many feed entries and assemble the main themes by hand. It also helps match the search and time range to the question.

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

feed-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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 30 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Feed digest

Turns web-mcp's raw tools (search, trending, digest, recent) into a synthesized answer for the user, rather than just relaying tool output verbatim.

Workflow

  1. Scope the question. If the user gave a topic ("what's new with rocket launches"), use search(query, max_days=...) with a query built from their words, not digest() — digest is for "what's happening across everything," search is for "what's happening on this topic."
  2. Scope the time window. Default to 24h for "today"/"this week" style requests map to hours=168. If the user doesn't say, ask or default to 24h and say so explicitly in the answer.
  3. Check trending first for broad requests. For an open-ended "what's happening" ask, call trending(hours=...) to see the dominant terms, then digest(hours=...) for the grouped article list — use the trending terms to decide what to lead with in your summary rather than just listing feeds in whatever order digest returns them.
  4. Synthesize, don't relay. The tools return markdown lists of links; don't just paste that back as the whole answer. Write 3-6 sentences (or a short set of bullets grouped by theme, not by source feed) that actually say what happened, then include the most relevant links as supporting citations.
  5. Say when there's nothing. If digest()/search() come back empty or with "No recent articles," say that plainly — don't pad a non-answer into paragraphs.

Handling multiple topics

If the user asks about several distinct topics in one digest request, run separate search() calls per topic rather than one broad query — TF-IDF search degrades when the query mixes unrelated terms, since it's a bag-of-words match, not semantic disambiguation between topics.

Freshness

If the last successful refresh for the relevant feeds looks stale (check source_health() if the user seems to expect very recent coverage and results look thin), mention that the digest reflects the last successful fetch rather than guaranteeing real-time coverage, and offer to call refresh() before re-running the digest.

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.
