{baseDir}/scripts/news_crawler.jsusingbunornode.\r- Command:
bun {baseDir}/scripts/news_crawler.js \x3CYYYYMMDD>\r

Usage Guidance
This skill looks safe for its stated purpose if you are comfortable with it running an included JavaScript crawler and making outbound requests to CCTV/CNTV. Install dependencies from the lockfile where possible, and note that the package has minor provenance ambiguity but no artifact-backed evidence of credential use, persistence, file modification, or destructive actions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: cctv-news-fetcher-1-0-0
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a standard web scraper designed to fetch news highlights from official CCTV domains (cctv.cntv.cn and tv.cctv.com). The logic in `scripts/news_crawler.js` uses the `node-html-parser` library to extract titles and content based on a user-provided date. While the script includes hardcoded browser headers and a tracking cookie to facilitate scraping, there is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful instructions in the `SKILL.md` file.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The SKILL.md and scripts/news_crawler.js both focus on fetching CCTV Xinwen Lianbo items for a requested date and returning titles/content. No unrelated file access, credential collection, destructive behavior, or account mutation is shown.
Instruction Scope
The instructions ask the agent to execute a bundled Node/Bun script when the user requests news for a date. This is expected for the crawler, but it still means local code runs in the user's environment.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and the registry requirements list no binaries, while SKILL.md says bun/node and node-html-parser are needed. The lockfile pins the dependency, but users should ensure dependencies are installed from the provided lockfile. _meta.json also has owner/slug values that differ from the registry metadata, which is a minor provenance ambiguity.
Credentials
The script performs outbound fetches to CCTV/CNTV pages and article links parsed from those pages, using static browser-like headers including a hardcoded cookie. It does not read local files or user credentials.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence, background workers, privileged operations, file writes, deletes, or account mutations are present in the provided artifacts.
