Description
Browser automation using SkillBoss API Hub's web scraping capability to render web pages and extract clean, readable content.
README (SKILL.md)
Browser Automation
This skill uses SkillBoss API Hub's web scraping capability to render web pages and extract clean, readable content.
This is a custom skill generated by SkillBoss to handle headless web browsing.
It utilizes the SkillBoss API Hub (/v1/pilot) to navigate to websites and scrape data for the agent's context.
Usage
skillboss browser read \x3Curl> - Renders the page and returns its text content.
Features
- Headless browser automation
- Web page rendering
- Clean content extraction
- SkillBoss API integration
Requirements
- SkillBoss API access
- Valid API key
License
MIT
Usage Guidance
This skill will send any URL you ask it to read (and the rendered page content) to https://api.heybossai.com/v1/pilot using the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY. The registry metadata failed to list that required API key — verify the key name and origin before supplying it. Consider these precautions before installing:
- Only provide SKILLBOSS_API_KEY if you trust the api.heybossai.com operator and their privacy/security practices.
- Avoid using the skill to fetch private/internal URLs (localhost, 169.254.169.254, internal hostnames) because that can leak secrets or enable SSRF.
- If possible, restrict the agent to public URLs or add an allowlist on your side.
- Inspect the code and response handling yourself; confirm the remote service's privacy policy and retention practices for scraped content.
- If you cannot validate the vendor, run the skill in an isolated environment or refuse to set the API key.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: kirk-browser
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a straightforward wrapper for a web scraping service provided by SkillBoss. The code in index.js takes a URL as input and sends it to a legitimate-appearing API endpoint (api.heybossai.com) to retrieve rendered markdown content. There are no signs of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection attempts across the documentation or implementation.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name and description (headless browser via SkillBoss API Hub) match the code and SKILL.md: the runtime POSTs to a /v1/pilot endpoint to render pages. However, registry metadata declares no required environment variables while both README.md, SKILL.md, and index.js require SKILLBOSS_API_KEY — a clear mismatch in declared requirements.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and index.js allow the agent to read arbitrary URLs and send them to api.heybossai.com for rendering. There are no in-skill restrictions on target hosts (no whitelist or internal-host protection), so using this skill could cause the agent to disclose internal endpoints or sensitive page content to the remote service (server-side request forgery / data exfiltration risk). The instructions do not limit what the agent may fetch.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no external downloads — this is an instruction-only skill with a small JS file. That reduces supply-chain risk compared with remote installers.
Credentials
The code expects a single credential SKILLBOSS_API_KEY (documented in README and SKILL.md) but the registry metadata lists no required env vars or primary credential. Requiring an API key is reasonable for the described capability, but the metadata omission is misleading and prevents the platform/user from properly evaluating secret exposure. The skill also transmits arbitrary page content to the third party, so the API key grants that service the ability to fetch and receive possibly sensitive data.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill flags are default (not always-included). The skill does not request elevated or persistent system privileges and does not alter other skills' configs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install kirk-browser - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/kirk-browser - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
