Description
获取 X-TechCon 网站的科技热点新闻。当用户输入指定的触发词时，调用 API 获取最新的科技热点新闻并格式化输出。
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it claims: issue an HTTPS GET to X-TechCon and format the returned news. Before installing, confirm you trust https://www.x-techcon.com (the skill will make outbound requests there), ensure python3 and the 'requests' package are installed, and be aware of a minor trigger-string mismatch between the SKILL.md examples and the code (spacing in the trigger may affect detection). No credentials or sensitive access are requested.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: xtechhotnews
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is a standard implementation for fetching technology news from a specific API (x-techcon.com). The code in `openclaw_skill.py` performs simple string matching for triggers and uses the `requests` library to retrieve and format news data without any signs of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description state the skill fetches hot news from X-TechCon; the code and SKILL.md both call the same API URL and only require python3 + requests. There are no unrelated binaries or credentials requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions and code only perform a single GET to https://www.x-techcon.com/api/hot_news, parse JSON, and format results. Minor mismatch: SKILL.md trigger variants include a spaced form ('X-TechCon 科技热点') while the Python TRIGGER_WORDS list contains 'X-TechCon科技热点' (no space), which could cause some intended triggers to miss; otherwise instructions do not access files, extra env vars, or external endpoints beyond the stated API.
Install Mechanism
No install spec in registry (instruction-only install). requirements.txt lists only 'requests' and SKILL.md instructs using pip install -r requirements.txt—this is proportionate for a simple HTTP client. No downloads from arbitrary URLs or archive extraction are present.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. Its network access to a third-party site is appropriate for its purpose. There are no hidden secrets or unrelated env requirements.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not modify other skills, and has no persistent installation steps beyond deploying its single Python file as described. Autonomous invocation defaults are normal.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install xtechhotnews - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/xtechhotnews - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
