Description
Aggregate and rank AI and tech news from multiple user-defined sources in source.md, filtering to the latest 24-hour articles with summaries and source links.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent: it reads the provided source.md and fetches public news sites to produce a 24-hour ranked digest. Before installing, verify the source.md path is where your agent will look (SKILL.md references workspace/skills/more-news/source.md while the bundle includes source.md), review the list of source URLs to ensure they are trusted and not internal/private links, and be aware the skill will perform network requests (and may fall back to web_search if many sources are blocked). Because it makes many external fetches, expect possible rate limits or blocked responses from some sites; no credentials are requested by the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: more-news
Version: 1.1.4
The 'more-news' skill is a standard news aggregator that fetches and ranks tech articles from a predefined list of legitimate sources in 'source.md'. The workflow in 'SKILL.md' uses standard 'web_fetch' operations with no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the actions in SKILL.md: read a source.md file, fetch listed sites, filter last-24h articles, summarize and rank them. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or system access are requested. (Minor note: the SKILL.md refers to workspace/skills/more-news/source.md while the bundle provides source.md — this is an implementation/path inconsistency but does not change purpose.)
Instruction Scope
Instructions are scoped to fetching and summarizing news from the listed URLs and to reporting skipped sources. They rely on platform tools (web_fetch, web_search fallback). The fallback to web_search means the agent may perform broader searches only when all configured sources are blocked — this is documented but widens network queries. Also, SKILL.md path references are inconsistent (see purpose_capability).
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill with nothing written to disk during install.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths; all required inputs come from the included source.md and web fetches, which is proportionate to its purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and default autonomous invocation are appropriate for this user-invocable skill. It does not request permanent presence or modify other skills/config.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install more-news - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/more-news - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
