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

miniflux-news 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check.py, scripts/miniflux.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Miniflux News

Use the bundled script to fetch entries, then format a clean list and optionally write summaries.

Setup (credentials)

This skill reads Miniflux credentials from a local config file by default.

Config file (recommended)

Path:

  • ~/.config/clawdbot/miniflux-news.json

Format:

{
  "url": "https://your-miniflux.example",
  "token": "<api-token>"
}

Create/update it using the script:

python3 skills/miniflux-news/scripts/miniflux.py configure \
  --url "https://your-miniflux.example" \
  --token "<api-token>"

Environment variables (override)

You can override the config file (useful for CI):

export MINIFLUX_URL="https://your-miniflux.example"
export MINIFLUX_TOKEN="<api-token>"

Token scope: Miniflux API token with read access.

Fetch latest entries

List latest unread items (default):

python3 skills/miniflux-news/scripts/miniflux.py entries --limit 20

Filter by category (by name):

python3 skills/miniflux-news/scripts/miniflux.py entries --category "News" --limit 20

If you need machine-readable output:

python3 skills/miniflux-news/scripts/miniflux.py entries --limit 50 --json

Response formatting

  • Return a tight bullet list: [id] title — feed + link.
  • Ask how many the user wants summarized (e.g., “summarize 3” or “summarize ids 123,124”).

View full content

Show the full article content stored in Miniflux (useful for reading or for better summaries):

python3 skills/miniflux-news/scripts/miniflux.py entry 123 --full --format text

If you want the raw HTML as stored by Miniflux:

python3 skills/miniflux-news/scripts/miniflux.py entry 123 --full --format html

Categories

List categories:

python3 skills/miniflux-news/scripts/miniflux.py categories

Mark entries as read (explicit only)

This skill must never mark anything as read implicitly. Only do it when the user explicitly asks to mark specific ids as read.

Files

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
