The NewsBlur CLI provides full command-line access to a user's NewsBlur account: list and search stories, view saved articles, manage feeds and folders, train intelligence classifiers, and generate AI-curated briefings. It supports JSON output for scripting and includes a readonly mode safe for automation and agent use.
Use this skill when you want to automate reading workflows, fetch and filter stories from feeds, extract full article text for processing, generate daily briefings for summaries, or integrate NewsBlur actions in shell scripts and agent automations. Readonly mode makes it safe to expose to agents or CI.
Likely to work with command-line-capable agents and automation contexts (Copilot/Codex style automation, CLI-based agents, or any agent that can run shell/python and parse JSON output).
NewsBlur CLI is a well-documented terminal interface for NewsBlur RSS feed reader. The SKILL.md provides clear setup instructions, comprehensive command reference organized by category, and useful scripting examples. No bundled scripts to test. Notable security feature: readonly mode for AI agents that blocks write operations and cannot be silently disabled. Requires a premium NewsBlur subscription which limits the audience.
Clean skill with no security concerns. Readonly mode for AI agents is a thoughtful security design. Well-structured documentation with clear command categories and examples. Niche usefulness due to NewsBlur-specific audience and premium requirement.
