Blog Feed Monitor
Scrape blog posts via RSS/Atom feeds (free) with optional Apify fallback for JS-heavy sites.
Quick Start
No API key needed for RSS mode.
# Scrape a blog's RSS feed
python3 skills/blog-feed-monitor/scripts/scrape_blogs.py \
--urls "https://example.com/blog" --days 30
# Multiple blogs with keyword filter
python3 skills/blog-feed-monitor/scripts/scrape_blogs.py \
--urls "https://blog1.com,https://blog2.com" --keywords "AI,marketing" --output summary
# Force Apify for JS-heavy sites
python3 skills/blog-feed-monitor/scripts/scrape_blogs.py \
--urls "https://example.com" --mode apifyHow It Works
Auto Mode (default)
- For each URL, tries to discover an RSS/Atom feed:
- Checks HTML
<link rel="alternate">tags - Probes common paths:
/feed,/rss,/atom.xml,/feed.xml,/rss.xml,/blog/feed,/index.xml
- Checks HTML
- Parses discovered feeds (supports RSS 2.0 and Atom)
- If any URLs fail, falls back to Apify
jupri/rss-xml-scraper(if token available) - Applies date and keyword filtering client-side
Note: The Apify fallback actor
jupri/rss-xml-scrapermay need updating -- it has not been verified recently. RSS mode works reliably without it.
RSS Mode
Only tries RSS feeds, no Apify fallback.
Apify Mode
Uses Apify actor directly, skipping RSS discovery.

Render Street Interview
Build a vox-pop street interview video ad. An interviewer with a handheld mic asks passers-by one question about the brand's product, they give blunt wrong guesses, one gives the real answer, and the cut lands on a branded end card. Generates the takes through the GooseWorks fal proxy (Seedance 2.0 with native voice), then grades, re-cuts, captions and gates them locally. Use for the street-interview format.
Write Video Ad Script
Write the words of a short-form video ad (voiceover, dialogue, chat bubbles, on-screen lines) the way performance creative teams do instead of from a blank page. Builds the script from the buyers' own words, the beat sheet of an ad that already works and three deliberately different angles, filters them with a rule check and a second non-Claude model, and takes the strongest into the review with the other two as one-line swaps. Use it in every video ad run before any paid step, and whenever the user asks to write, rewrite or improve a video ad script or says a script sounds generic or AI-written.
