news-recap

news-recap collects articles from RSS/Atom feeds and turns them into digest pages you can review locally or generate on a schedule.

The pipeline drives CLI agents such as ChatGPT Codex, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI, so it runs on flat-rate subscriptions.

Running it daily for 7 days consumes roughly 20% of the weekly Claude subscription limit and less than that for ChatGPT.

Alternative it can run completely free with gemini on free tier, with slightly less quality than claude.

For comparison, Inoreader charges an additional \$19.90/month on top of a Pro subscription for AI-powered aggregation.

Quick start
