Usage

  • /news - Fetch all feeds and show top stories
  • /news hn or /news hackernews - Hacker News only
  • /news lobsters - Lobsters only

Feeds

Note: WebFetch has restrictions on many mainstream news domains (CNN, NYT, Reddit, etc.). The feeds below are confirmed to work.

Hacker News

Lobsters

Workflow

  1. Fetch feeds using WebFetch for each RSS URL
  2. Parse the XML to extract titles, links, and descriptions
  3. Summarize the top 10 stories from each feed
  4. Present in a clean, scannable format

Output Format

Present news in this format:

## Hacker News
1. **[Title]**
   [link]

2. **[Title]**
   [link]

## Lobsters
1. **[Title]**
   [link]

  1. Fetch all configured RSS feeds in parallel using WebFetch
  2. For each feed, extract the top 10 items

  4. Highlight any particularly notable/trending stories

When a specific source is requested (e.g., /news hn):

  • Show up to 15 items instead of 10

Adding New Feeds
