/digest — Tech Digest for Claude Code

A Claude Code skill that aggregates top developer RSS feeds and produces a structured daily digest — sorted by day, deduplicated, filtered by vote count.

What it does

Type /digest in Claude Code and get a structured recap of the best tech articles from the last 3 days — sourced from Hacker News Daily and Lobste.rs.

# Tech Digest -- April 7 to April 13, 2026
> 12 articles from 3 sources over the last 7 days

Features

• Aggregates RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds from top developer sources
• Filters by vote count — only the best articles per source, not just the most recent
• Recap grouped by day, with automatic deduplication
• Pure Python stdlib, zero external dependencies (no pip install)
• Parallel feed fetching (multi-thread)
• Fully configurable sources via a simple YAML file
• Works on macOS and Linux

Installation

Option A: Claude Code Plugin (recommended)

bash tech-digest/install.sh

One-liner (curl)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CamilleRoux/tech-digest/main/install.sh | bash

Prefer the git clone method so you can inspect the script before running it.

Usage

In Claude Code:

/digest          # Recap of the last 3 days (default)
/digest 7        # Recap of the last 7 days
/digest 14       # Recap of the last 14 days

Sources included

Source	Description
Hacker News	Top 5 stories per day from Hacker News Daily

Add a source

Edit ~/.claude/skills/digest/sources.yml and add a block:

  - name: My Source
    url: https://example.com/feed.rss
    site: https://example.com
    description: Short description of the source
    limit: 3  # optional: keep top N articles by score per day

Any valid RSS 2.0 or Atom feed is supported. See CONTRIBUTING.md to propose a default source.

How it works: when you type /digest, Claude Code reads SKILL.md which tells it to run fetch_feeds.py. The Python script fetches RSS feeds in parallel, parses XML, filters by date, ranks by score (vote count), deduplicates by URL, and returns articles as TSV. Claude then formats the result as markdown.

Uninstall

rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/digest

Or via script:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CamilleRoux/tech-digest/main/uninstall.sh | bash
