Description
Newsman integration. Manage data, records, and automate workflows. Use when the user wants to interact with Newsman data.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent: it guides you to use the Membrane CLI to connect to Newsman and does not ask for unrelated secrets. Before installing, consider: (1) verify you trust the Membrane project (@membranehq on npm, homepage provided), (2) prefer using npx if you want to avoid a global npm install, (3) the login flow will open a browser or show a code you must paste (headless), so be prepared to complete that interactive step, (4) installing any third-party CLI has normal supply-chain risk — review the package and its npm publisher if you need stronger assurance, and (5) run the CLI in a sandbox or isolated environment if you are cautious about installing global binaries. If you require more certainty, ask the skill author for the exact Membrane CLI package hash or prefer to use Membrane's web console rather than installing software.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: newsman
Version: 1.0.1
The newsman skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to interact with the Newsman email marketing platform via the Membrane CLI (@membranehq/cli). The instructions in SKILL.md cover standard operations such as authentication, connection management, and action execution through the Membrane middleware. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or deceptive prompt injection was found; the logic is consistent with the stated purpose of automating Newsman workflows.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (Newsman integration) matches the instructions: using the Membrane CLI to connect to Newsman, discover and run actions, and manage email/contact/report objects. Nothing requested (no env vars, no special system paths) is out of scope for an integration skill.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs the agent/user to install and run the Membrane CLI, perform a browser-based login (or headless code flow), create/list connections, discover actions and run them. It explicitly discourages asking users for API keys. There are no instructions to read unrelated files, harvest environment variables, or send data to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No formal install spec in the registry; SKILL.md recommends installing the Membrane CLI via npm (npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest) or using npx. Installing a public npm package is a common approach and expected here, but global npm installs carry standard supply-chain and privilege considerations (use npx or verify package provenance if concerned).
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or credentials. Authentication is delegated to Membrane's login flow, and the docs explicitly advise against requesting user API keys. The level of credential access requested is proportionate to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and normal autonomous invocation are used. The skill is instruction-only and does not request persistent system-wide changes or access to other skills' configurations. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default and is not itself flagged.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install newsman - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/newsman - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
