Google Alerts Monitor

Keyword monitoring with Hootsuite-style output. Free, no API keys required.

What This Skill Does

  • Fetches Google Alerts RSS feeds for your keywords
  • Formats results into visual, social-media-style cards
  • Prints clean JSON output and formatted text for use by agents or cron jobs

    • What this skill does NOT do: It does not save files, schedule cron jobs, or post to chat. Those integrations are handled by your agent prompt or external automation.

    Search Script

    # Set your Google Alert feed ID (see setup-guide.md)
export GOOGLE_ALERT_FEED_ID="your_feed_id_here"
    Search a keyword
    
bash scripts/search.sh "your keyword" 10

    Output: JSON array of results (title, link, description, published date)

    Formatter Script

    Takes JSON results and formats them into Hootsuite-style cards:

    bash scripts/search.sh "your keyword" 10 \
