Description
Track your Product Hunt launch stats (Rank, Upvotes, Comments) in real-time via CLI.
Usage Guidance
This skill describes a CLI (ph-launch) that needs a Product Hunt developer token (PH_API_TOKEN) and otherwise contains no code or install instructions. Before installing or using it: 1) Ask the publisher where to obtain the ph-launch binary and for its official installation instructions and source (GitHub release, package registry, etc.). 2) Verify the binary's provenance and check for a reputable upstream source; do not run an unknown binary. 3) Only provide PH_API_TOKEN with the minimal scopes needed; consider creating a dedicated token you can revoke. 4) If the author can't provide an install/source link, treat the skill as incomplete/untrusted — it will not function as advertised and could encourage you to run unvetted software.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: product-hunt-launch
Version: 0.1.0
The provided files describe a skill for tracking Product Hunt launch statistics. The `SKILL.md` outlines the skill's purpose, setup instructions (requiring a `PH_API_TOKEN`), and example commands for a `ph-launch` CLI tool. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts against the agent, or obfuscation. The requirement for an API token is consistent with the stated purpose of interacting with the Product Hunt API.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The description promises a CLI tool (ph-launch) to monitor Product Hunt. However, the skill declares no required binaries and contains no install spec or code files. A consumer/agent cannot actually run the described commands unless an external ph-launch binary is present; the SKILL.md does not tell you where to get it. This mismatch between claimed capability and what is provided is incoherent.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions are narrowly scoped (asking the user to set PH_API_TOKEN and showing ph-launch commands). They do not request unrelated files, credentials, or system data. However, because the instructions assume an external CLI exists, they delegate execution to an unspecified external component — the skill gives broad discretion to run that CLI but doesn't document or vet it.
Install Mechanism
There is no install specification and no code bundled with the skill. While instruction-only skills are common and lower risk, here the absence is problematic because the SKILL.md refers to a specific binary (ph-launch) without telling how to obtain or verify it. That gap reduces usefulness and creates an opportunity for confusion or misuse.
Credentials
The skill requests a single environment variable, PH_API_TOKEN, which is appropriate and expected for accessing the Product Hunt API. There are no unrelated environment variables or config paths requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent presence (always is false) and does not attempt to modify system or agent-wide settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with other red flags here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install product-hunt-launch - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/product-hunt-launch - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
