Description
Fetch clean, token-efficient Markdown from any URL using markdown.new, optimized for deep analysis with JS support and stripped of boilerplate content.
Usage Guidance
This skill will instruct an external service (markdown.new) to fetch whatever URL you pass it. That can leak sensitive data in two ways: (1) URLs often contain tokens or query parameters that reveal secrets, and (2) you may unintentionally ask the external service to fetch internal-only endpoints. Before installing or using: (a) verify who runs markdown.new and whether you trust that operator, (b) never pass URLs containing secrets or authentication tokens, (c) avoid pointing the tool at internal/private network addresses, (d) consider adding URL validation/whitelisting or percent-encoding before sending, and (e) if you need to process sensitive pages, run a local/managed converter instead of an unknown third-party. If you want me to, I can suggest safer local alternatives or propose a small patched script that validates/encodes URLs and warns about internal addresses.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mdnew
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is designed to fetch markdown content from a user-provided URL via the `markdown.new` service. The `SKILL.md` instructions are clear and do not contain any prompt injection attempts. The `scripts/mdnew.py` code makes a straightforward HTTP request to `https://markdown.new/` with the target URL embedded in the path. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation. While the skill makes an outbound network request to an external service with a user-controlled URL, this is its stated purpose and does not indicate malicious intent or introduce high-risk vulnerabilities within the skill's own code.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the actual behavior: the script queries markdown.new for a converted Markdown version of a provided URL. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions and script instruct the agent to send arbitrary target URLs to an external service (https://markdown.new/<url>) and then print the response. There is no input validation, no URL encoding, and no warning about sending internal or sensitive URLs or query strings to a third party. That means URL contents or secrets embedded in URLs could be exposed to an external operator.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with an included small Python script and no install steps—no code is downloaded at install time. This is lower risk from an installation perspective.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials, which is consistent with its stated purpose. However, the code nonetheless causes data about arbitrary targets to be transmitted to a third party, which is not controlled by environment settings.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (no forced inclusion). The skill can be invoked autonomously by default (platform normal), but it does not request persistent privileges or modify other skills.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install mdnew - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/mdnew - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
