Description
Tracks Vietnam market and sector narratives from major domestic financial media; used when users ask for market stories, sector heat, and most-mentioned Viet...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims (monitor Vietnamese financial news), but there are important gaps you should address before installing: 1) Ask the publisher to clarify why 'Brave API access' is required, which endpoints are used, and whether an API key or credential is needed — these are not declared in the package. 2) Confirm how 'previous snapshots' are stored/retrieved (agent memory, external storage, or user-provided files) and whether that storage requires credentials or persists outside your control. 3) Clarify how an ACTIVE_WATCHLIST is supplied (env var, explicit parameter, or file) and whether providing it would expose sensitive data. 4) Request explicit declarations of any environment variables or secrets the skill needs and a data-handling statement describing what is fetched, logged, or transmitted. If the publisher updates the manifest to list required credentials and storage paths and documents the Brave API usage, the incoherence would be resolved and the skill would look much safer. In the meantime, avoid supplying unknown API keys or persistent secrets to this skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: vn-market-news-monitor
Version: 1.0.2
The skill bundle is benign. The `SKILL.md` provides clear, structured instructions for an AI agent to monitor Vietnam market news, specifying data sources, workflow, quality gates, and output format. It explicitly limits the agent's actions (e.g., 'Do not issue buy/sell commands') and does not contain any instructions for data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or prompt injection with harmful intent. The required 'OpenClaw web fetch and Brave API access' are legitimate capabilities for the stated purpose of fetching news headlines.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and runtime instructions are consistent: the skill fetches headlines from listed Vietnamese financial sites and derives sector/ticker narratives. No unrelated capabilities (cloud/deployment/etc.) are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are specific about fetching, de-duplicating, tagging, and confidence rules. However they reference comparing with a 'previous snapshot' and accepting an 'ACTIVE_WATCHLIST' provided by the user without specifying where snapshots are stored or how a watchlist is supplied. They also require 'Brave API access' in the compatibility header but give no guidance on API endpoints, auth, or why Brave (vs. standard web fetch) is needed.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec or code to write to disk. This is low risk from an installation perspective.
Credentials
SKILL.md implies dependency on the 'Brave API' and on an 'ACTIVE_WATCHLIST' input, but requires.env lists none and the registry shows no primary credential. That mismatch means required credentials or config may be missing from the manifest (or the instructions assume agent/platform-provided access). This is disproportionate and unclear.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no install or code means the skill does not request persistent system presence or elevated privileges. No indications it modifies other skills or system settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install vn-market-news-monitor - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/vn-market-news-monitor - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.2
- Added an optional "Watchlist mode" that provides a dedicated section analyzing user-provided ticker watchlists.
- Clarified that no buy/sell commands should be issued; the skill is for signal monitoring only.
- The rest of the workflow, data sources, confidence rubric, and output format remain unchanged.
v1.0.1
vn-market-news-monitor 1.0.1
- Improved the description for clarity on use cases and triggers.
- Added explicit trigger examples to guide typical user questions.
- Introduced a compatibility line specifying tooling needs.
- No changes to workflow, data quality gates, or output format.
- Maintained detailed guidance on confidence scoring and risk handling.
v1.0.0
Vietnam Market News Monitor 1.0.0 – Initial Release
- Enables monitoring of Vietnam market news by sector and ticker mentions using top local financial media sources.
- Outlines a web-based workflow: fetch headlines, tag by sector, measure intensity, track narrative shifts, and flag risks.
- Implements a data quality gate (freshness, coverage, de-duplication, evidence tagging, bias check) for all results.
- Introduces a shared rubric for confidence level (High, Medium, Low), always with source/freshness details.
- Standardizes output into five sections: coverage/freshness, key sectors, top tickers, narrative shifts, and risk validation.
- Requires explicit caution: headlines are informational signals, not trading advice; always cross-check with quantitative data.
