RSS / Atom Feed Generator (v1.0.0)

Generates valid RSS 2.0 or Atom 1.0 XML feeds from any web page that

lists posts, articles, or news items but does not publish its own feed.

Defaults & Settings

Trigger Phrases

Order of Operations

1. Page Fetch — Retrieve the target URL by invoking the WEB_FETCH function

(defined in https://linkeddata.uriburner.com/chat/functions/openapi.yaml,

endpoint /WEB_FETCH). Use whichever available protocol applies — REST, MCP,

OPAL, or curl. Required parameter: url. Optional: headers, max_redirects,

timeout_seconds. WEB_FETCH retrieves the page just like a web browser and

returns the full page content for subsequent processing. See

protocol-routing.md for exact invocation

patterns per protocol.

1. Feed Discovery — Check tags. If a feed already

exists, report it and stop (offer to proxy/mirror instead).

1. Post Extraction — Use the heuristics in references/extraction-rules.md

to identify post entries (title, URL, date, author, summary).

1. Feed Assembly — Build XML using the templates in

references/feed-templates.md. Validate structure against the checklist

in references/validation-checklist.md.

1. Output — Present the feed XML in a code block; optionally wrap in the

HTML discovery page template from references/html-wrapper-template.md.

1. Download Link — Save the .xml file to /mnt/user-data/outputs/ and

present it with present_files.

Extraction Heuristics (summary — full rules in references/)

Structural signals to look for

• Repeated
  ,

  , or

  blocks with consistent class names

(e.g., post, entry, article, blog-post, card)

• /

  /

  headings inside each block → item title

• on or near the heading → item link (resolve relative URLs)
• or text matching date patterns → pubDate
• First

  inside the block (≤280 chars) → description / summary

• or byline text → author

Date handling

URL normalisation

All item values must be absolute. Resolve against the page's

if present, otherwise against the origin of the page URL.

Operational Rules

1. Always check for an existing feed before generating a synthetic one.
2. Never fabricate post content — only use text found on the page.
3. Escape &, <, > in text nodes; use CDATA for HTML description bodies.
4. All / Atom values must be the canonical post URL.
5. Sort items newest-first by default (pubDate DESC).
6. Do not request or store credentials; only scrape publicly accessible pages.
7. Clearly label generated feeds as synthetic (add tag).
8. Respect robots.txt — do not scrape pages that disallow crawlers.
