What This Skill Does
Converts RSS or Atom feed URLs into Markdown using a bundled local Python script. Supports writing to a file, limiting item count, and choosing between short or full output templates.
Running locally with a bundled script means no external API calls or auth setup required for basic feed conversion.
When to use it
- Saving a blog's latest posts as a Markdown file for offline reading
- Pulling a podcast feed into notes format
- Archiving newsletter content as Markdown
- Limiting a noisy feed to the 5 most recent items
- Generating a full-summary digest from a news feed
Example Workflow

A Markdown file containing the 10 most recent feed items with full summaries
