Usage Guidance

This skill is reasonable to install if you want a simple current-news summary and are comfortable with it connecting to BBC, Xinhua, and NYTimes RSS feeds when invoked. Do not rely on the claimed Reuters, translation, or hot-topic ranking features unless the publisher aligns the documentation and code.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: daily-news-fetcher Version: 1.0.0 The daily-news-fetcher skill is a standard news aggregation tool that fetches RSS feeds from legitimate sources (BBC, Xinhua, NYTimes). The Python script (scripts/fetch_news.py) uses only standard libraries, lacks any network calls to suspicious domains, and does not access sensitive local data or environment variables. The instructions in SKILL.md are well-aligned with the stated purpose and do not contain any prompt-injection or obfuscation attempts.

Capability Assessment

ℹ Purpose & Capability

The included script matches the core purpose of fetching and formatting daily headlines, but SKILL.md claims Reuters, translation, and ranking features that are not reflected in the provided code.

✓ Instruction Scope

The instructions are limited to running the provided script when the user asks for news and returning its structured output.

✓ Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and the script uses Python standard-library modules only; no package installation or remote setup script is shown.

ℹ Credentials

The script makes outbound requests to public RSS feeds, which is expected for a news-fetching skill and does not involve local files or credentials.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

No persistence, background execution, credential use, privileged paths, or account access is shown.
