news-video-maker

News video maker skill. Use search tools to get news, generate speech, and create video with golden subtitles. For creating news briefing videos.

This skill appears to do what it says: search for news, synthesize speech, and call ffmpeg to produce an MP4 with subtitles. Before using it: 1) ensure ffmpeg is installed from an official source and available on PATH (the manifest doesn't declare it); 2) confirm you have the referenced search and TTS skills/tools available and permitted; 3) change the hard-coded default output path to a directory you control to avoid unwanted writes to your user folder; 4) verify the agent will only run when you invoke it (if you don’t want autonomous runs); and 5) review any generated audio/images for copyright or privacy issues. If you want higher assurance, ask the skill author to declare required binaries and provide cross-platform paths or an explicit prompt for output directory.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: news-video-maker Version: 1.0.4 The skill provides instructions for creating news videos using FFmpeg, TTS, and web search tools. It is classified as suspicious because the FFmpeg command in SKILL.md uses direct string interpolation for file paths, which presents a high risk of shell command injection if inputs are not properly sanitized by the agent. Additionally, the file contains a hardcoded local user directory (C:\Users\hyzu\Documents\openclaw\) as a default output path, which is atypical for a generic skill.
