#writing#legal
πŸ’‘ Examples

# 1. Setup
python3 scripts/setup.py
2. Validate

python3 scripts/init.py
3. Fetch + Score + Send (full pipeline)

python3 scripts/veille.py fetch --filter-seen --filter-topic \
  | python3 scripts/veille.py score \
  | python3 scripts/veille.py send

βš™οΈ Configuration

Requirements

  • Python 3.9+
  • Network access to RSS feeds (public, no auth required)
  • No pip installs needed

    • Installation

    # From the skill directory
python3 scripts/setup.py
    Validate
    
python3 scripts/init.py

    The wizard creates:

  • ~/.openclaw/config/veille/config.json (from config.example.json)
  • ~/.openclaw/data/veille/ (data directory)

    • Customizing sources

    Edit ~/.openclaw/config/veille/config.json and add/remove entries in the "sources" dict:

    {
  "sources": {
    "My Blog": "https://example.com/feed.xml",
    "BleepingComputer": "https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/feed/"
  }
}

    πŸ“‹ Tips & Best Practices

    See references/troubleshooting.md for detailed troubleshooting steps.

    Common issues:

  • No articles returned: check --hours value, verify feed URLs in config
  • XML parse error on a feed: some feeds use non-standard XML; the skill skips broken items silently
  • All articles filtered as seen: run seen-stats to check store size; reset with rm seen_urls.json
  • Import error: ensure you run veille.py from its directory or via full path
  • File output blocked: path is outside ~/.openclaw/ β€” add the target directory to config.security.allowed_output_dirs (see File output configuration)
