News sources
The following gaming outlets are checked in this priority order. Each source has a distinct focus — use the source best suited to the user's interest, or aggregate across multiple:
| # | Outlet | RSS Feed URL | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | IGN | https://feeds.ign.com/ign/all |
Broad coverage: games, movies, TV |
| 2 | Kotaku | https://kotaku.com/rss |
News, culture, opinion |
| 3 | GameSpot | https://www.gamespot.com/feeds/mashup/ |
Reviews, news, all platforms |
| 4 | Polygon | https://www.polygon.com/rss/index.xml |
Culture, features, reviews |
| 5 | Eurogamer | https://eurogamer.net/feed |
European perspective, Digital Foundry tech analysis |
| 6 | Rock Paper Shotgun | https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/feed |
PC gaming focus |
| 7 | VG247 | https://vg247.com/feed |
Breaking news, all platforms |
| 8 | Gematsu | https://gematsu.com/feed |
Japan / Asian game focus |
| 9 | PlayStation Blog | https://blog.playstation.com/feed |
Official Sony/PS announcements |
How to fetch news
Default behavior (no specific source requested)
Fetch the top 3 sources simultaneously (IGN, Kotaku, VG247) and aggregate results. Deduplicate stories that appear across multiple sources — if the same event is covered by 2+ outlets, mention it once but note "IGN, Kotaku 등 다수 보도".
When user specifies a platform or interest
- PlayStation / Sony news → prioritize PlayStation Blog + IGN + Kotaku
- PC gaming → prioritize Rock Paper Shotgun + Polygon + GameSpot
- Japanese games / anime games → prioritize Gematsu
- Industry / business news → prioritize Eurogamer + VG247
- Reviews → prioritize GameSpot + Polygon + Eurogamer
Feed parsing
From each RSS feed, extract per article:
- Title:
\x3Ctitle> - URL:
\x3Clink>or\x3Clink href="..."> - Date:
\x3CpubDate>or\x3Cpublished>or\x3Cupdated> - Excerpt:
\x3Cdescription>or\x3Csummary>(first 200 chars if full content included)
Show up to 5 stories total by default. If user asks for more, show up to 10.
Fetching full article content (on demand)
If the user asks for a deeper summary of a specific story, fetch the article URL and extract the main content from \x3Carticle> or \x3Cmain> tags.
Output format
🎮 게임 뉴스 브리핑 · [날짜]
📰 [제목] — [출처]
🔗 [URL]
📝 [2–3문장 요약]
📰 [제목] — [출처]
🔗 [URL]
📝 [2–3문장 요약]
...
Rules:
- Match the user's language (Korean ↔ English)
- Lead with the most significant or surprising stories first
- For release announcements: include platform and release date if mentioned
- For reviews: include the score if present in the excerpt
- Keep each summary factual — do not add opinions not present in the source
Error handling
| Situation | Response |
|---|---|
| One feed fails | Skip it silently, fetch from next source |
| All feeds fail | "현재 게임 뉴스를 불러올 수 없습니다. 잠시 후 다시 시도해 주세요." |
| Feed returns empty | Try next source in priority order |
| Partial results | Show what was found, note which sources were unavailable |

Usage Guidance
This skill appears low-risk and coherent: it only fetches public RSS feeds and article pages and asks for no credentials. Before installing, consider that it will make outbound network requests (which reveal the agent's IP to feed hosts and visited sites), may fetch linked content that could include trackers, and will summarize copyrighted articles (ensure that use fits your policy). If you want extra assurance, review the GitHub repo linked in the SKILL.md for any hidden code or recent changes before enabling autonomous invocation.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: gamer-news
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is designed to fetch and summarize news from external RSS feeds and potentially full article content from arbitrary URLs found within those feeds, as described in SKILL.md. While this functionality is central to its stated purpose, it introduces a significant vulnerability risk. The agent is instructed to make HTTP requests to external, potentially untrusted URLs and parse their content (XML/HTML). This could expose the agent to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) if a feed is compromised or links to malicious sites, potentially allowing an attacker to probe internal networks or exploit vulnerabilities in the agent's HTTP client or HTML parser. There is no evidence of intentional malicious prompt injection or data exfiltration by the skill author, but the inherent risk of processing arbitrary external content makes it suspicious.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description claim to fetch and summarize gaming news and the SKILL.md only requires reading public RSS feeds and (on demand) visiting article URLs — which is exactly what you'd expect for this skill. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to fetching specified RSS feed URLs, parsing feed fields, deduplicating, and optionally fetching article pages for deeper summaries. The instructions do not ask the agent to read local files, environment variables, or send data to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files, so nothing is written to disk or downloaded by the installer. That minimizes on-disk risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Its network access to public RSS feeds and article URLs is proportionate to its purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable (default). It can be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default) but does not request permanent presence, elevated privileges, or modify other skills or system settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install gamer-news - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
