What this skill does

Use the Go rssaurus binary to authenticate, list feeds/items, print item URLs for piping, open links, mark items read/unread, bulk mark-read, and save/unsave. Human-readable output is the default; --urls provides machine-friendly links and --json supports scripts. Check installation and authentication with commands such as rssaurus --version and rssaurus auth whoami. Never print the CLI config file because it may contain API tokens. If authentication fails, re-authenticate or ask only for non-sensitive error details.

description: "Use the RSSaurus command-line client (Go binary `rssaurus`) to interact with https://rssaurus.com from the terminal: authenticate (`rssaurus auth login/whoami`), list feeds/items, print item URLs for piping, open URLs, and perform triage actions (mark read/unread, bulk mark-read, save/unsave). Use when asked to automate RSSaurus tasks from CLI, debug token/config issues, or demonstrate command usage."

# RSSaurus CLI

Use the installed `rssaurus` binary on this machine to interact with RSSaurus.

## Quick checks (when something fails)
Show all (110 lines)

1) Confirm binary exists:

```bash
which rssaurus
rssaurus --version || true
```

2) Confirm auth works:

```bash
rssaurus auth whoami
```

### Privacy note

- Do **not** print (e.g. `cat`) the RSSaurus CLI config file contents; it can contain API tokens.
- If auth fails, prefer re-authenticating (`rssaurus auth login`) or asking the user to paste only non-sensitive details (error output, host, etc.).

## Common tasks

### List feeds

```bash
rssaurus feeds
rssaurus feeds --json
```

### List items

Unread by default:

```bash
rssaurus items --limit 20
```

Filter by feed:

```bash
rssaurus items --feed-id 3 --limit 20
```

Machine-friendly URL output (one per line):

```bash
rssaurus items --limit 20 --urls
```

Cursor paging:

```bash
rssaurus items --limit 50 --cursor <cursor>
```

### Open a URL

```bash
rssaurus open https://example.com
```

### Mark read/unread

These require item IDs (get them via `--json`).

```bash
rssaurus items --limit 5 --json
rssaurus read <item-id>
rssaurus unread <item-id>
```

Bulk mark read:

```bash
rssaurus mark-read --all
# or
rssaurus mark-read --ids 1,2,3
# optional
rssaurus mark-read --all --feed-id 3
```

### Save / unsave

```bash
rssaurus save https://example.com --title "Optional title"

# unsave requires an id (obtain via --json output from the API response or future saved-items listing)
rssaurus unsave <saved-item-id>
```

## Output conventions (privacy)

- Default human output avoids printing internal DB IDs.
- Use `--json` output when IDs are required for scripting or write actions.
