Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims (scrape post lists and produce RSS/Atom XML + an HTML wrapper), but it defaults to routing page fetches through an external service (linkeddata.uriburner.com) and allows fetching full text of many item pages. Before installing or invoking it: (1) confirm you are comfortable with page contents (including any non-public links) being sent to that external service, or ask/modify instructions to use direct local fetch (curl) instead; (2) avoid /fulltext mode on pages with many items or sensitive content, and limit the item count; (3) verify where the generated feed files will be hosted (feed_self_url) and whether storing them under /mnt/user-data/outputs/ matches your policies; (4) if you require a fetch route that uses authenticated credentials, ask the skill author to declare how credentials are used and stored. Source/homepage are missing — consider testing on non-sensitive public pages first and asking the publisher for clarity about the default WEB_FETCH endpoint and privacy guarantees.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: rss-generator-skill
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a framework for generating RSS feeds from web pages but is classified as suspicious due to the inclusion of direct shell execution instructions (curl/wget) in 'references/protocol-routing.md' and 'examples/vivianvoss-net.md'. These instructions lack input sanitization guidance, creating a risk of shell injection if the agent processes a malicious URL. Furthermore, the skill relies heavily on external endpoints at 'linkeddata.uriburner.com' for core functionality (WEB_FETCH, MCP, and LLM-mediated execution), which introduces third-party dependency risks and potential data proxying.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description (generate RSS/Atom from post-list pages) match the instructions and templates: extraction heuristics, feed templates, validation, and saving .xml/.html outputs are all appropriate for that purpose. However, the skill defaults to using an external WEB_FETCH endpoint hosted at linkeddata.uriburner.com for page retrieval (and lists other external routing endpoints). While fetching remote pages is required for the stated purpose, routing the raw page content through a third-party service by default is not necessary to generate a feed and should be considered an external dependency with privacy/visibility implications.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions tell the agent to fetch the target URL (and, in /fulltext mode, to fetch each item URL) and to use the WEB_FETCH function at https://linkeddata.uriburner.com as the default fetch route (with fallbacks including MCP, chatPromptComplete, OPAL, or direct curl). That means page content (and potentially the full text of many posts) will be sent to external endpoints unless a local curl route is explicitly chosen. The skill also instructs saving outputs to /mnt/user-data/outputs/ and presenting files — which is expected — but the routing choice and the permissive guidance for bulk fetching (up to 20+ items) are notable scope decisions that could expose sensitive page contents.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — nothing is written to disk at install time. This is the lowest-risk install mechanism. There is no package download or execution step included.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials (none declared), which is consistent with a public web-scraping/templating tool. However, the documentation references authenticated routes (e.g., chatPromptComplete, MCP, OPAL) and indicates some routes may require authentication without declaring how credentials would be supplied. Because the default routing uses a remote WEB_FETCH endpoint that may be able to see fetched content, the lack of explicit credential or privacy guidance is a proportionality/visibility concern rather than a direct credential overreach.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not configured as always:true and does not request elevated system-wide privileges. It writes generated files to /mnt/user-data/outputs/, a platform-provided user-data path, and uses present_files to surface them — expected behavior for a file-producing skill. No modifications to other skills or global config are indicated.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install rss-generator-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/rss-generator-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
Major change: The skill is now completely refocused as an OPML/RSS/Atom query assistant for OpenLink linked-data.
- Replaced previous AI summary + Feishu push skill with a new assistant for managing and troubleshooting OPML, RSS, and Atom feeds via SPARQL/SPASQL queries.
- All implementation, documentation, and user guidance now center on protocol-based feed exploration, query templates, error handling, and linked-data infrastructure.
- Added structured query execution details, protocol routing information, and predefined prompt templates.
- Removed all previous Python code, package files, and documentation related to fetching, summarizing, or pushing RSS content with AI analysis.
- License and all operational details have been updated to match the OpenLink-centric focus.
