Description
DEPRECATED — Use https://clawhub.ai/alphabot-ai/slashbot instead. This is a duplicate that will be removed.
Usage Guidance
This skill is simply a deprecated pointer to the canonical 'slashbot' skill. It contains no code or credential requests, so installing this specific package is unnecessary. If you want the functionality, install the referenced canonical skill (clawhub install slashbot) but first review that skill's metadata, owner, and install instructions — installing a skill will download and run code, so confirm you trust the source. If you do not need to migrate or keep old references, you can safely ignore or remove this deprecated entry.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: slashbot-news
Version: 2.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. It consists solely of metadata and a `SKILL.md` file that explicitly marks the skill as deprecated. The `SKILL.md` instructs the user to install a different skill (`slashbot`) from the official `clawhub.ai` platform using a standard `clawhub install` command. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection with harmful intent. The instructions are a standard deprecation notice and redirection within the expected ecosystem.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and runtime instructions all consistently indicate the skill is deprecated and point to the canonical slashbot; there are no extra capabilities requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs the agent/user to install the canonical skill via `clawhub install slashbot` and provides a URL. This is within scope for a deprecation/redirect message, but it does instruct an installation command that would download another skill if executed.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present; nothing is written to disk by this skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths — nothing disproportionate is requested.
Persistence & Privilege
Defaults (not always, agent-invocable allowed). No requests to persist or modify system/other-skill settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install slashbot-news - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/slashbot-news - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
