Description
Get current news which matches user's recent interests. It can be triggered when user ask about current news or the events happening around without selecting...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: infer your interests from recent conversation and fetch news from public RSS/JSON feeds. Before installing, consider: (1) privacy — the skill explicitly reads recent memory/conversation history to summarize interests, so confirm you are comfortable with that access; (2) network use — it will make outbound requests to many external URLs (the provided sources.md lists reputable feeds, but the instructions allow querying other sites), so ensure your environment's network policy and rate limits are acceptable; (3) content handling — the skill does not specify retention, filtering, or sanitization rules for fetched content, so be cautious about forwarding or storing fetched items containing private data or HTML/JS; (4) supply and trust of sources — review sources.md and remove any feeds you don't trust. If you want tighter control, ask for the skill to be modified to (a) limit sources to an allowlist, (b) require explicit user consent to read conversation memory, and (c) enforce a maximum number of requests and explicit data retention rules.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: personalized-news-collector
Version: 1.0.1
The skill is a personalized news aggregator that identifies user interests and fetches relevant articles using 'curl' commands. While it utilizes shell-level networking, the behavior is transparently documented in SKILL.md and strictly aligned with the stated purpose of news collection from the reputable RSS feeds and APIs listed in sources.md. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the instructions: the skill summarizes user interests from recent conversation history and fetches news matching those interests. It does not request unrelated credentials, binaries, or system paths.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md tells the agent to infer interests from recent memory/conversation history and to fetch many external RSS/JSON endpoints (examples provided in sources.md). This is expected for a personalized news aggregator, but the instructions are broad ("collect as much information"), give the agent wide discretion about which external URLs to query, and do not specify limits on how conversation memory is used or retained — raising privacy and data‑exfiltration considerations.
Install Mechanism
There is no install specification and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, so nothing will be written to disk or installed at install time.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Its need to access conversation history is proportional to personalization and is declared in the instructions.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and does not request persistent privileges or modifications to other skills or system settings. It is user-invocable and may be called autonomously (platform default).
