What is it?

ClawFeed collects content from Twitter accounts, RSS and Atom feeds, Hacker News, Reddit, GitHub Trending and custom sources, then generates structured digests at 4-hour, daily, weekly and monthly intervals. Digests are browsable in a web dashboard, and users can bookmark items for deeper AI analysis.

The project runs standalone on Node.js with SQLite storage, via Docker, or as a skill for the OpenClaw and Zylos agent platforms. Google OAuth enables multi-user accounts with personal sources and bookmarks, and a read-only mode is available without OAuth configured. Curation rules and the digest prompt are editable template files.

Users can publish digests as RSS, JSON Feed or HTML pages, and share curated source bundles as packs. The interface supports English and Chinese with a light and dark theme.
