Description
Fetch and parse news highlights from CCTV News Broadcast (Xinwen Lianbo) for a given date.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable with the skill making outbound requests to CCTV-related news pages when you ask it for news. For better transparency, the publisher should document the exact network domains and prefer reproducible installs, but the reviewed artifacts do not show behavior requiring Review or blocking.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: cctv-news-fetcher
Version: 1.0.0
The skill 'cctv-news-fetcher' is designed to fetch and parse news from CCTV. The `SKILL.md` instructs the agent to execute a local JavaScript script (`scripts/news_crawler.js`) with a date argument. The JavaScript code performs web scraping from official CCTV domains (`cctv.cntv.cn`, `tv.cctv.com`) using `fetch` and `node-html-parser`. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent. The dependencies listed in `package.json` and `package-lock.json` are standard for HTML parsing and do not raise any concerns.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is fetching and parsing CCTV News Broadcast highlights by date, and the executable script performs that news-fetching and HTML parsing workflow.
Instruction Scope
The instructions clearly tell the agent to run a local JavaScript crawler with a date argument; outbound network access is implied by the fetch purpose, though the metadata does not explicitly declare network capability or list the contacted domains.
Install Mechanism
The package has no install scripts or unusual install-time behavior. It uses node-html-parser with a caret range in package.json, but package-lock.json pins the reviewed dependency tree.
Credentials
Network requests to public CCTV pages are proportionate to a news-fetching skill. The artifacts do not show access to local files, credentials, session stores, private profiles, or broad environment data.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, background worker, privilege escalation, destructive action, or mutation of user data is evidenced in the artifacts.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install cctv-news-fetcher - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/cctv-news-fetcher - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
