/install panews-web-viewer
Description
Read public PANews website pages as Markdown. Use for homepage, article-page, and column-page reads.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and low-risk: it only issues GET requests to the public panewslab.com site with an Accept: text/markdown header and returns the Markdown. Before installing, note the skill's source/homepage are unspecified — if you require provenance, ask the publisher for more information. Also avoid providing private or credentialed URLs to the skill (it is intended for public pages). If you want to restrict network access, consider running it in an environment where outbound requests are controlled.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: panews-web-viewer
Version: 0.1.1
The panews-web-viewer skill is designed to fetch and render content from the PANews website (panewslab.com) as Markdown. The SKILL.md file provides clear instructions for the agent to perform direct HTTP GET requests with specific headers and URL structures. There is no executable code, obfuscation, or evidence of malicious intent such as data exfiltration or unauthorized access.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the runtime instructions: the skill only performs direct HTTP GETs to https://www.panewslab.com with Accept: text/markdown. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or system paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md confines behavior to single-page retrieval from panewslab.com, preserving YAML frontmatter and returning the Markdown body. It explicitly disallows broad crawling and creator-authenticated workflows. There are no instructions to read local files, other env vars, or to send data to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill; nothing is written to disk or downloaded at install time, which is low risk.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. This is proportionate to its purpose of fetching publicly available web pages.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated privileges. agents/openai.yaml sets allow_implicit_invocation (agent may invoke it when appropriate), which is normal for skills and acceptable here given the minimal scope and lack of credentials.
