Simple RSS news feed

**Judgement:** A low‑risk, lightweight, and practical skill for fetching current news headlines from multiple major RSS sources. It does exactly what it claims—pulls RSS feeds via a simple Python3 script with no extra dependencies or credentials—and returns markdown well‑suited for LLM consumption. **What it’s good for** - Quickly assembling a multi‑source news briefing (BBC, Reuters, AP via rsshub, Guardian, Al Jazeera, NPR, DW). - Handling user requests like “latest world news,” “headlines from BBC,” or “news on *X* topic today.” - Serving as a data source for higher‑level agents that summarize, compare, or analyze news coverage. **Key strengths** - **Zero setup friction:** No API keys, no non‑stdlib packages, no install scripts; just python3 and outbound HTTP. - **Decent coverage & flexibility:** Multiple major international outlets, source selection, topic filters, and limit control. - **LLM‑friendly output:** Markdown grouped by source with titles, short descriptions, times, and links. **Risks & limitations** - **Network/privacy:** Requires outbound HTTP; the machine’s IP is exposed to the news sites and to `rsshub.app` (for AP). Use sandboxing or a proxy/VPN if IP privacy matters. - **Third‑party proxy dependency:** AP is accessed via `rsshub.app`, which is not the official AP domain. If you don’t trust that proxy, you may want to disable or replace that feed. - **External fragility:** Reliability depends on third‑party RSS endpoints and the proxy; feed URLs or formats may change, or services may rate‑limit or temporarily fail. - **Scope:** Designed for **recent headlines**, not historical archives, structured financial data, or specialized/long‑form content. **Recommended scenarios** - Use when a user or agent needs **fresh, general‑purpose news** from mainstream outlets, especially for briefings and topical queries. - Reasonable default news source for multi‑source, low‑configuration environments. - Avoid relying on it as a **critical, always‑on data backbone** where feed changes or proxy downtime would be unacceptable; in such cases, pair it with monitoring or backup sources and consider removing the rsshub‑based AP feed if that proxy is a concern.
