Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a legitimate cloud video editor that uploads your footage to a third‑party API and needs a NEMO_TOKEN. Before installing or using it: (1) Confirm you are comfortable uploading potentially sensitive video to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai and ask for the provider's privacy/retention policy; (2) Prefer using an ephemeral / limited-scope token rather than a long-lived high-privilege secret; (3) Ask the publisher to explain the apparent metadata inconsistency (the SKILL.md frontmatter lists ~/.config/nemovideo/ while registry metadata lists no config paths) and to clarify why the skill needs to detect install paths; (4) Request clarification of the truncated/incoherent instruction fragment (the 'click [button]' → 'Execute vi…' line) — incomplete or incorrect runtime instructions could cause unexpected behavior; (5) If you require transparency, ask the publisher to remove the 'keep technical details out of the chat' requirement or to provide an explicit, user-visible upload/authorization confirmation step; (6) Avoid using this skill for highly sensitive footage until the above are resolved. If the publisher cannot clarify these items, treat the skill as higher risk and do not install or grant your real credentials.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: video-news
Version: 1.0.0
The 'video-news' skill is a legitimate integration for an AI-driven video editing service hosted at nemovideo.ai. It provides structured instructions for the agent to manage sessions, upload media, and trigger cloud-based video rendering via a series of API endpoints. While it requests access to a specific environment variable (NEMO_TOKEN) and a configuration directory (~/.config/nemovideo/), these are standard requirements for its stated functionality, and no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution was found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (video editing) aligns with required credential NEMO_TOKEN and the documented API endpoints for uploads and renders. However, the SKILL.md frontmatter declares a config path (~/.config/nemovideo/) that is not present in the registry metadata, and the instructions ask the agent to detect an install path (to set X-Skill-Platform). These filesystem checks are not obviously required for editing and introduce a small mismatch between claimed requirements and runtime behavior.
Instruction Scope
The instructions tell the agent to read NEMO_TOKEN (expected) or obtain an anonymous token via an external POST (reasonable). They further instruct streaming SSE handling, polling, and uploading user media to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai — all expected for a cloud editor. Concerns: (1) SKILL.md says to 'keep the technical details out of the chat' which hides transmission/authorization steps from users; (2) the doc instructs the agent to detect install paths and include derived headers (requires filesystem awareness); (3) there's an odd truncated mapping ('click [button]' → 'Execute vi…') which looks incoherent and may indicate incomplete or incorrect instructions. The skill will upload user media to a third party — that is central to its function but requires explicit user consent and clear privacy/retention terms.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — lowest filesystem/write risk. Nothing is downloaded or written by an installer according to the manifest.
Credentials
Only one credential is required (NEMO_TOKEN), which is appropriate for a cloud API. The SKILL.md also includes a mechanism to mint anonymous tokens if none are present. The frontmatter's configPaths entry (~/.config/nemovideo/) is declared in the skill file but not in registry metadata — this inconsistency suggests the skill may attempt to read a local config path even though the registry reported none.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no install operations. The skill does not request permanent presence or modifications to other skills. Note: the skill can be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default) — combine that with the opaque 'keep technical details out of the chat' instruction and automated uploads to an external service, and you should consider whether you want the agent to run this skill without explicit per-use confirmation.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install video-news - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/video-news - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
