Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it claims: parse episode pages, download the audio from the podcast CDN, convert to MP3, and save shownotes to disk. Before installing or running: (1) inspect scripts/download.sh yourself (it will write files into PODCAST_DIR and execute curl/ffmpeg commands); (2) ensure ffmpeg and jq are installed; (3) change PODCAST_DIR if you don't want downloads placed into a cloud-synced Documents folder; (4) confirm you have the right to download and store the podcast content (copyright/terms); and (5) run the script in a safe environment the first time (or with a test URL) so you can confirm behavior.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: podcast-downloader
Version: 1.0.0
The podcast-downloader skill is a legitimate utility designed to download audio and show notes from xiaoyuzhoufm.com. The core logic in `scripts/download.sh` uses standard tools (curl, jq, ffmpeg) to extract metadata from the site's JSON data, download the media, and perform format conversion. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found; the hardcoded default path (/Users/zym/Documents/podcast/) appears to be a user-specific configuration rather than a malicious indicator.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, SKILL.md, reference.md and scripts/download.sh are coherent: they parse __NEXT_DATA__ from xiaoyuzhoufm pages, download the enclosure URL (media.xyzcdn.net), convert m4a→mp3 with ffmpeg, and save shownotes. No unrelated services, credentials, or binaries are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and the script only fetch web pages and media from xiaoyuzhoufm/CDN, convert audio, and write files to the user-specified PODCAST_DIR. They do not read unrelated system files, access other env vars, or send data to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; this is an instruction-only skill with a bundled bash script. Nothing is downloaded or installed by the skill itself.
Credentials
No credentials or secret environment variables are required. Declared env vars (PODCAST_DIR, AUDIO_QUALITY, KEEP_M4A) are appropriate for the task. The default directory is a user Documents path (not a secret).
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not modify other skills or global agent settings, and has no persistent/background components. It only runs the included script when invoked.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install podcast-downloader - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/podcast-downloader - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
