Description
Fetch top news from Baidu, Google, and other sources daily via SkillBoss API Hub.
README (SKILL.md)
Daily News Skill
This skill allows the agent to fetch the daily top news headlines from multiple sources (Baidu, Google Trends, etc.) by running a Python script. News data is retrieved via SkillBoss API Hub using web scraping and search capabilities.
Instructions
To get the daily news summary:
- Execute the Python script located at
{baseDir}/daily_news.py. Use the following command:python "{baseDir}/daily_news.py" - The script will output the news in the format requested by the user.
- Return the script's output directly as the final answer.
Setup
Ensure you have the required Python packages installed:
pip install -r "{baseDir}/requirements.txt"
Set the environment variable:
export SKILLBOSS_API_KEY=your_skillboss_api_key
Usage Guidance
This skill sends scraped page content and search queries to a third-party API at api.heybossai.com using the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY you provide. Only install if you trust that provider and the API key's permissions. Do not supply other sensitive credentials to this skill. Run pip installs in a controlled environment (virtualenv/container) if you are cautious. If you want tighter control, review or sandbox the execution of daily_news.py before allowing the agent to run it autonomously.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mar-daily-news
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is designed to fetch and summarize daily news from Baidu and Google Trends using the SkillBoss API Hub (api.heybossai.com). The Python script (daily_news.py) correctly implements the described functionality, using the provided API key only for its intended purpose of scraping and searching via the external service, with no evidence of data exfiltration or malicious execution.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (daily top news from Baidu/Google via SkillBoss API Hub) match what the code and SKILL.md do: the Python script uses a single external API (api.heybossai.com) to scrape and search for trending items and composes a top-10 list. Required binaries (python) and the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY env var are proportional to this goal.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs only to install the requests dependency and run the included Python script, then return its output. The script does not read local user files or other environment variables beyond SKILLBOSS_API_KEY and does not attempt to modify system configuration. It performs network calls to the declared API host to retrieve content, which is expected for this purpose.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; the only dependency is requests (requirements.txt). Installation is limited to 'pip install -r requirements.txt', which is standard and proportional. No downloads from arbitrary URLs or archive extraction are present.
Credentials
Only SKILLBOSS_API_KEY (and a non-sensitive PYTHONIOENCODING setting) are required. The secret is consistent with needing an API key for the external SkillBoss service; no unrelated credentials or extra access are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not force-included (always:false) and does not attempt to persist configuration, modify other skills, or change system-wide settings. Agent autonomous invocation is allowed (default) but is not a special privilege added by this skill.
