/install cctv-news-fetcher
Description
Fetch and parse news highlights from CCTV News Broadcast (Xinwen Lianbo) for a given date.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable with the skill making outbound requests to CCTV news sites when invoked. The publisher should ideally document the exact external domains, but the available evidence does not show hidden or disproportionate behavior.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: cctv-news-fetcher
Version: 1.0.0
The skill 'cctv-news-fetcher' is designed to fetch and parse news from CCTV. The `SKILL.md` instructs the agent to execute a local JavaScript script (`scripts/news_crawler.js`) with a date argument. The JavaScript code performs web scraping from official CCTV domains (`cctv.cntv.cn`, `tv.cctv.com`) using `fetch` and `node-html-parser`. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent. The dependencies listed in `package.json` and `package-lock.json` are standard for HTML parsing and do not raise any concerns.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is CCTV news fetching, and the described script fetches and parses public pages from CCTV domains using standard HTML parsing.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions involve executing a local JavaScript crawler with a date argument; outbound network access is expected for the purpose, though explicit domain documentation would improve clarity.
Install Mechanism
The described package uses ordinary JavaScript dependencies for HTML parsing and does not show unusual install-time behavior.
Credentials
Network access to public CCTV news domains is proportionate to the stated news-fetching function; no credential, local profile, or broad filesystem access is indicated.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence mechanism, privilege escalation, background worker, destructive action, or secret handling is evidenced.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install cctv-news-fetcher - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/cctv-news-fetcher - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
