Implementation Notes

  • Sources should be added to references/extended_sources.json under new or existing priority levels
  • Consider rate-limiting / fewer items per source if adding many
  • The Felo X Search keywords may also need updating to match new topics
  • A priority_8 tier may be needed for "nice-to-have" sources that should only run on specific days

Priority Recommendation

  • High: LessWrong, Import AI, The Gradient (AI/LLM focus, align with OpenClaw mission)
  • Medium: Indie Hackers, SaaSHub, Nomad List (indie/solo developer ecosystem)
  • Low: LifeHacker, Makezine, CodeCartoon (general productivity, lower relevance to OpenClaw's audience)

Acceptance Criteria

  • New sources added to extended_sources.json
  • Tested that each RSS URL is reachable and returns valid XML
  • Existing priority structure maintained
  • Documentation updated in SKILL.md

extent analysis

TL;DR

Add new RSS sources to extended_sources.json and update the priority structure as needed to maintain the existing hierarchy.

Guidance

  • Review the proposed additional sources and prioritize them based on their relevance to OpenClaw's mission and audience.
  • Add the new sources to extended_sources.json under the corresponding priority levels, considering the creation of a priority_8 tier for "nice-to-have" sources.
  • Test each RSS URL to ensure it is reachable and returns valid XML.
  • Update the Felo X Search keywords to match new topics and consider rate-limiting or reducing the number of items per source if necessary.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue focuses on adding new RSS sources and updating the priority structure, which does not require code changes.

Notes

The implementation notes and priority recommendations provided in the issue should be carefully reviewed to ensure that the new sources align with OpenClaw's mission and audience.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by adding the new RSS sources to extended_sources.json and updating the priority structure as needed, as this will allow for the inclusion of high-quality technical blog sources without disrupting the existing system.
