Description
Monitor blogs and RSS/Atom feeds for updates using the blogwatcher CLI.
Usage Guidance
Reasonable to install if you want a local CLI for tracking blog or RSS updates. The main thing to consider is supply-chain control: because the install command uses `@latest`, pin a specific trusted module version if reproducible installs matter to you.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: blogwatcher
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. It primarily defines a skill to monitor blogs using the `blogwatcher` CLI. The `SKILL.md` file includes an installation instruction using `go install github.com/Hyaxia/blogwatcher/cmd/blogwatcher@latest`, which is a standard and expected method for installing Go programs within the OpenClaw framework. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution beyond standard tool installation, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts against the agent, or obfuscation. All instructions are clearly aligned with the stated purpose of installing and using the blogwatcher tool.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The artifact's purpose, examples, and required binary all align with monitoring blogs and RSS/Atom feeds; the upstream repository describes the same CLI purpose and usage. ([github.com](https://github.com/Hyaxia/blogwatcher))
Instruction Scope
Instructions are user-directed commands such as add, list, scan, read, read-all, and remove; there are no hidden role changes, prompt-injection text, automatic execution instructions, or unrelated workflows.
Install Mechanism
Installation uses `go install github.com/Hyaxia/blogwatcher/cmd/blogwatcher@latest`, which is normal for a Go CLI but unpinned, so future installs may fetch a newer upstream version than this reviewed artifact; pkg.go.dev shows tagged module metadata for the package. ([pkg.go.dev](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Hyaxia/blogwatcher/cmd/blogwatcher))
Credentials
The skill requests only the `blogwatcher` binary and does not ask for credentials, privileged paths, local profile/session stores, broad filesystem access, or account authority.
Persistence & Privilege
The artifact does not define background agents, startup persistence, elevated privileges, destructive automation, or credential handling; upstream documentation notes ordinary local SQLite storage for the tool's blog/article state. ([github.com](https://github.com/Hyaxia/blogwatcher))
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install blogwatcher - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/blogwatcher - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
