Description
Comprehensive news aggregator that fetches, filters, and deeply analyzes real-time content from 8 major sources: Hacker News, GitHub Trending, Product Hunt, 36Kr, Tencent News, WallStreetCN, V2EX, and Weibo. Best for 'daily scans', 'tech news briefings', 'finance updates', and 'deep interpretations' of hot topics.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable with the skill fetching and parsing external news pages and saving generated reports locally. Review or restrict the source list if you need tighter control over which sites are contacted, and expect output to default to Simplified Chinese unless the skill is changed or overridden.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: news-aggregator-skill-2 Version: 0.1.0 The skill is classified as suspicious due to several risky capabilities, even though they are presented as part of the skill's stated purpose. The `SKILL.md` instructs the agent to perform 'deep fetching' using `python3 scripts/fetch_news.py --deep`, which involves downloading and extracting content from external, potentially untrusted, news sources. This introduces a significant attack surface for supply chain risks or vulnerabilities in content parsing. Additionally, the agent is instructed to read local files (`templates.md`) and write reports to the local filesystem (`reports/`), demonstrating file system interaction capabilities. While the prompt injection instruction for keyword expansion is for a functional purpose, the combination of network access to arbitrary external content and file system interactions, without the full script for review, elevates the risk profile beyond benign.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The described capabilities, including fetching news, optionally doing deeper article extraction, using templates, and writing reports, are coherent with a news aggregation/reporting skill.
Instruction Scope
A broad menu/help trigger and forced Simplified Chinese output can reduce user control or surprise some users, but the described effects are conversational/reporting behavior rather than hidden access or high-impact mutation.
Install Mechanism
No artifact-backed evidence shows a risky installer, privileged setup, package replacement, or automatic background execution; the submitted scan context did not include a full local script bundle to independently inspect.
Credentials
Network access to public news sources and reading local template files are proportionate for a news aggregator when invoked by the user.
Persistence & Privilege
Writing generated reports under a reports directory is disclosed and purpose-aligned; there is no evidence of persistence, privilege escalation, credential use, destructive actions, or exfiltration.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install news-aggregator-skill-2
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /news-aggregator-skill-2
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
