Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims — monitor feeds and optionally post to a Feishu webhook. Before installing or running: 1) inspect and obtain the complete scripts/rss_monitor.py (the provided file appears truncated) and ensure it is the intended code; 2) only add feed URLs you trust (the script fetches and parses arbitrary feed content and will include portions of that content in notifications/history); 3) provide a Feishu webhook only if you trust the receiving group/bot; 4) install dependencies (pip install requests feedparser) in a controlled environment (virtualenv/container) and consider running initial tests with a temporary webhook to confirm behavior; 5) if you will run the script via cron, ensure the cron working directory and Python environment are correct. If you want, I can attempt to reconstruct the missing tail of the script or re-check a complete version.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: rss-monitor Version: 1.0.0 The rss-monitor skill is a standard RSS feed tracking tool that provides functionality to monitor feeds and send notifications via Feishu webhooks. The code in scripts/rss_monitor.py uses well-known libraries (feedparser, requests) for its stated purpose and stores configuration and history data locally in the user's home directory (~/.rss_monitor/). No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or suspicious execution was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (RSS monitoring + Feishu notifications) matches the included script and SKILL.md. Required dependencies (requests, feedparser), data files (~/.rss_monitor), and optional FEISHU_WEBHOOK align with the stated purpose; there are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or config paths.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructions are narrowly scoped to adding/listing/checking feeds and configuring a Feishu webhook and cron. The code only accesses the feed URLs and the optional FEISHU_WEBHOOK. One operational concern: the provided scripts/rss_monitor.py appears truncated in the manifest (main() is cut off), which may make the script non-functional as distributed — this is a quality/packaging issue rather than a security mismatch, but you should request the complete file before relying on it.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (lowest automatic install risk). However, the skill includes a Python script and requires pip packages (requests, feedparser) that the user must install manually; this is expected but worth noting since files will run locally when invoked.
Credentials
No required credentials are declared. The only optional environment variable is FEISHU_WEBHOOK for notifications, which is appropriate for the integration. The script only uses the webhook and does not request other unrelated secrets or system credentials.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request or claim persistent platform privileges (always=false). It writes only to its own data directory (~/.rss_monitor) and does not modify other skills or global agent settings.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install rss-monitor
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /rss-monitor
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
