RSS News Digest Agent with OpenCode
OpenCode is model-agnostic, and a news digest is the clearest case for spending that flexibility: the job is mostly reading and arranging, with one sentence of summary per item. A mid-size model usually clears that bar comfortably. If your feeds are technical enough that the one-line takes come out wrong, you change the model and keep everything else.
Watch it work before it's live
Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.
Morning tick, Tuesday 07:30
The 07:30 tick fires. Overnight the eight feeds returned 61 new items. Three cover the same EU battery subsidy decision, from Reuters, Sifted, and a trade blog. Two are funding rounds, a Nairobi logistics startup at 14 million dollars and a Rotterdam port software company at 3.2 million euros. The rest are product announcements, two conference agendas, and an obituary.
Set up in minutes
Using this template drops you into a guided setup. It asks exactly this, nothing else:
Connect RSS
One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.
Connect Slack
One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to what this template uses.
Feeds list
The feeds you want read every morning, one per line, as feed addresses or plain site addresses the agent can find the feed for. Give each a short label so the digest names sources the way your team already does.
Digest style
How the digest should read: how many stories you want, which themes matter to you, how long a line should be, whether you want plain summaries or your own angle, and what is never worth including.

Why OpenCode for this agent
Summaries are the only cost
Everything except the one-sentence takes is parsing and formatting. Model strength shows up in one place, which makes tuning easy to judge.
Feeds change, wiring does not
Adding or dropping a feed is a variable edit and changing the model is a field. Neither touches your Slack connection.
Before you fork
Will a smaller model invent what an article says?
That is the risk, and it is the exact behaviour the template forbids, since a take states what the item says and stops. Customer In The News is the sharpest test, because three feeds carry the same story and a fourth carries a bare headline. If the output writes a confident summary for the headline-only item, the model is too small for this job.
