使用说明 (SKILL.md)

Quick Reference

Topic File
API endpoints api.md
Search patterns search.md

Core Rules

1. Two APIs Available

API Use Case Base URL
Official HN API Single items, real-time https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0
Algolia Search Full-text search, filters https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1

2. Official API Endpoints

  • /topstories.json — top 500 story IDs
  • /newstories.json — newest 500 story IDs
  • /beststories.json — best stories
  • /askstories.json — Ask HN
  • /showstories.json — Show HN
  • /jobstories.json — job postings
  • /item/{id}.json — story/comment details
  • /user/{username}.json — user profile

3. Algolia Search Syntax

/search?query=TERM&tags=TAG&numericFilters=FILTER

Tags (combinable with AND):

  • story, comment, poll, job, ask_hn, show_hn
  • author_USERNAME — posts by user
  • story_ID — comments on story

Numeric filters:

  • created_at_i>TIMESTAMP — after date
  • points>N — minimum points
  • num_comments>N — minimum comments

4. Common Patterns

Request Endpoint
Frontpage Official /topstories.json → fetch first 30 items
Search posts Algolia /search?query=X&tags=story
User's posts Algolia /search?tags=author_USERNAME
Who is hiring? Algolia /search?query=who is hiring&tags=story,author_whoishiring
Comments on story Algolia /search?tags=comment,story_ID
This week's top Algolia /search?tags=story&numericFilters=created_at_i>WEEK_TS

5. Response Handling

  • Official API returns IDs → batch fetch items (parallelize)
  • Algolia returns full objects with hits[] array
  • Story object: id, title, url, score, by, time, descendants (comment count)
  • Comment object: id, text, by, parent, time

6. Rate Limits

  • Official API: No auth required, generous limits
  • Algolia: 10,000 requests/hour (no key needed)
  • Always paginate large results (page=N, hitsPerPage=N)

7. Gotchas

  • url is null for Ask HN/Show HN text posts — use text field instead
  • deleted and dead items exist — check before displaying
  • Timestamps are Unix seconds, not milliseconds
  • Algolia objectID = HN item id (as string)
安全使用建议
This skill looks safe and coherent: it only documents calling public Hacker News endpoints and needs no secrets or installs. Before installing: 1) note the registry/owner and lack of a homepage — the skill is instruction-only, so risk is low but verify you trust the publisher. 2) Be aware that its examples use shell date substitutions and curl; on some systems (macOS/BSD) the date flags differ, so the agent might fail or behave differently. 3) The agent will make network requests to public APIs (and could fetch URLs returned in stories if asked) — if you do not want outbound network access, do not enable the skill. 4) Expect standard rate limits from Algolia/HN; no credentials are required.
功能分析
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: hacker-news Version: 1.0.0 The skill is classified as suspicious due to the presence of shell command substitutions (e.g., `$(date -d '24 hours ago' +%s)`) within `curl` examples in `search.md`. While the `date` command itself is benign and used for a legitimate purpose (generating timestamps for API queries), its inclusion in markdown documentation presents a potential shell injection vulnerability if the AI agent's execution model directly interprets and executes such examples in a shell environment. This constitutes a 'risky capability' without clear malicious intent, aligning with the definition of suspicious behavior.
能力评估
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the instructions: SKILL.md, api.md, and search.md all only describe using the official Firebase HN API and the Algolia HN search API. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or services are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are constrained to making HTTP requests to public HN endpoints and building queries. The docs suggest curl and shell date usage for timestamps, and recommend batching/pagination — all within the expected scope. There are no instructions to read local files, access secrets, or POST data to unexpected endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. Nothing is written to disk or fetched during install, minimizing install-time risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths — proportional for a read-only public-API browsing tool.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-level changes or modifications to other skills. It can be invoked by the agent, which is normal for skills of this type.
