Usage Guidance
This skill is a passive, read-only info card about TechCrunch and does not request credentials, binaries, or perform installs — low risk. Before installing, confirm you trust the skill publisher (owner ID is present but the source/homepage is unknown). If you expect skills to fetch live articles or call external APIs, note this one contains only static content and will not fetch or update data automatically.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: techcrunch
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains purely informational Markdown documentation regarding the history, business model, and market position of TechCrunch. There is no executable code, no network requests, and no evidence of prompt injection or malicious instructions in SKILL.md or techcrunch/SKILL.md.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description (TechCrunch editorial/background) match the only artifact present (a content SKILL.md). The skill requests no binaries, env vars, or config paths that would be inconsistent with an informational reference.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains static editorial content and 'read_when' guidance; it does not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, call external endpoints, or transmit data outside the agent.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present (instruction-only). Nothing will be written to disk or fetched during install.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths — proportional and minimal for a read-only informational skill.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable (defaults). It does not request elevated or persistent privileges and does not modify other skills or system settings.

- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
