Usage Guidance
This skill looks coherent and calls BrowserAct's API to extract Zhihu content. Before installing: (1) Only provide the BrowserAct API key via secure means—prefer setting BROWSERACT_API_KEY as an environment variable in your agent/runtime rather than pasting the key into chat. (2) Verify you trust BrowserAct (https://www.browseract.com) and the TEMPLATE_ID used, since API responses will contain the scraped article data. (3) Ensure the runtime has Python and the 'requests' package (pip install requests) so the script can run. (4) Expect the script to print full API responses (which may include large content); review any sensitive content before sharing. If you need stronger guarantees, ask the developer for dependency notes, tests, or a minimal reproducible example.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: zhihu-search-api-skill
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a legitimate integration with the BrowserAct API to scrape and structure Zhihu search results. The Python script (scripts/zhihu_search_api.py) correctly handles API authentication via environment variables and follows a standard task-polling workflow without any signs of data exfiltration, obfuscation, or malicious execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (Zhihu extraction via BrowserAct) matches the code and declared requirements. The script calls api.browseract.com, uses a BrowserAct template ID, and requires BROWSERACT_API_KEY and the python binary—these are appropriate for the described function.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the shipped Python script, monitor its terminal output, and prompt the user to provide the BrowserAct API key if missing. This is within scope, but the documentation explicitly asks the agent to request or accept the API key from the user—users should avoid pasting secrets into open chat and instead set the BROWSERACT_API_KEY in the runtime environment.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only skill plus a small script). No downloads or third-party install actions are performed by the skill itself, which is the lowest-risk install model.
Credentials
Only BROWSERACT_API_KEY is required, which is proportional to a service that calls BrowserAct. Minor operational omission: the script uses the 'requests' Python package but the SKILL.md does not document dependency installation (user may need to pip install requests).
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent 'always' inclusion and does not modify other skills or system-wide config. It runs on-demand and requires only standard runtime access.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install zhihu-search-api-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/zhihu-search-api-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
