/install nm-tome-discourse
Description
>- Scan community discussion channels (HN, Lobsters, Reddit, tech blogs) for experience reports and opinions on a topic
Usage Guidance
This skill is instruction-only and appears coherent for gathering public community discussion. Before installing, note: (1) it assumes platform helpers (tome.channels.discourse.* and WebFetch/WebSearch) — without the companion plugin the agent may fail or attempt its own ad-hoc web requests; (2) it performs web queries to external services (HN Algolia, Reddit JSON endpoints, site searches) so do not include any private tokens or sensitive content in search queries; (3) automated scraping may be subject to rate limits or site terms of service. If you need guaranteed behavior, install the recommended companion plugin or verify that your agent runtime provides the referenced WebFetch/WebSearch functions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: nm-tome-discourse
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains metadata and instructions for an AI agent to search public community forums such as Hacker News, Reddit, and Lobsters. The workflow described in SKILL.md uses standard APIs (e.g., Algolia for HN) and web search tools to gather community opinions, which is consistent with the stated purpose. No malicious code, data exfiltration attempts, or harmful prompt injection triggers were identified.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (scan HN, Lobsters, Reddit, blogs) align with the actions in SKILL.md (construct search URLs, call HN Algolia, Reddit JSON, site:lobste.rs, websearch). No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions stay within the stated purpose (web fetches and parsing). However the SKILL.md references runtime helpers (tome.channels.discourse.* functions, WebFetch/WebSearch, Finding objects) and says full functionality requires the Claude Code plugin — this means the instructions assume platform-provided functions that may not exist in all agent environments. That is a functional/integration note rather than a security mismatch.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present; instruction-only skills are lowest-install-risk since nothing is written to disk.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested, which is proportionate for a public-web-search/discourse aggregator.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no indications of modifying other skills or system settings. The skill does not request persistent presence or elevated privileges.
