Sub-commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
add_feed <url> [name] |
Subscribe to a feed; optionally give it a friendly name |
remove_feed <url|name> |
Unsubscribe by URL or display name |
list_feeds |
Show all subscribed feeds |
fetch <url|name> [count] |

Presentation Tips
- After
add_feed, confirm the subscription and mention how many entries are available - For
fetch/fetch_all, summarise the top 3-5 entries with titles and one-line descriptions rather than dumping raw output - Group entries by topic or source when showing results from
fetch_all - Include links so the user can read the full article
- When fetching fails for some feeds, still show what succeeded and mention the failures briefly
- If the user has no feeds yet, suggest popular feeds relevant to their interests
