Description
Curate and send twice-daily English Telegram news updates featuring top 10 vetted stories on FX/CFD, crypto, trading tech, finance, and global politics.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to describe both generating and delivering Telegram news pushes, but the runtime instructions only cover generating formatted lists and do not include sending messages or requesting a Telegram bot token or any storage access for deduplication. Before installing or using this skill, ask the publisher: (1) how delivery to Telegram is performed and where the bot token should be provided (and avoid pasting secrets into open prompts), (2) how deduplication/state is stored (what persistent storage or memory is used and what credentials are required), and (3) whether the agent will perform live web browsing/fetching and what browsing tool it uses. If you plan to run this, ensure you supply a Telegram bot token only through a secure credential field and confirm the skill's storage location and retention policy for push history. If the skill cannot explain these gaps, treat it as incomplete or risky to grant network/delivery permissions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: news-telegram-push
Version: 2.0.4
The skill bundle contains instructions for an AI agent to curate and format news updates for Telegram. The SKILL.md file defines strict formatting, source selection, and deduplication rules without any evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to 'send twice-daily Telegram news updates' but the SKILL.md contains only generation/selection and strict formatting instructions — there is no step to send messages to Telegram, and the skill requests no Telegram bot token or other delivery credentials. It also mandates cross-push deduplication and avoiding repeats between daily pushes, which implies persistent storage or access to past pushes; no config paths, storage, or persistence mechanism are declared.
Instruction Scope
Instructions require selecting top stories using 'browsing popularity / visibility' and prefer specific reputable sources and primary sources, which implicitly requires web/network access and fetching links. The SKILL.md does not describe how the agent should fetch or verify sources, nor does it limit where links are sent. It also requires avoiding duplicate events across categories and daily pushes (stateful behavior) but gives no guidance on where to store or retrieve previous push history. The instructions do not ask to read local files or secrets, so no file-exfiltration signals are present, but the scope expectation (web fetches + persistent history + delivery to Telegram) is larger than the declared surface.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — low risk from install mechanism. Nothing will be written to disk as part of an installer.
Credentials
No environment variables or credentials are declared, yet the skill's stated purpose (sending Telegram pushes) would normally require a Telegram bot token (or similar). The absence of any declared delivery credentials or storage access is inconsistent with the described capability. Also, deduplication across pushes implies the need for persistent storage or an API/DB credential, which is not requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill requires cross-push deduplication and forbids repeating stories between twice-daily pushes — behavior that requires persistent state or memory across runs. The skill does not declare any persistence mechanism, config paths, or permissions for storing/retrieving past push history. The skill is not marked always:true and does not request elevated privileges, but its functional requirements imply persistence that is not specified.
