X News Daily

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This skill is a coherent X.com news-briefing/poster generator, but users should notice that it relies on local browser/screenshot commands and may run as a scheduled briefing.

This appears safe for its stated purpose. Before installing, check that you are comfortable with it browsing X.com, generating local HTML output, using Chrome/screenshot tooling, and optionally running on a daily schedule.

Findings (3)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

If misused or run in the wrong window, a screenshot step could capture unrelated on-screen information.

Why it was flagged

The skill asks the agent to use local browser and screenshot tooling. This fits the poster-generation purpose, but these tools should be scoped so the screenshot captures only the generated poster.

Skill content
Open HTML in Chrome using file:// protocol (NOT http), fullscreen kiosk mode ... Use macOS screencapture command to take screenshot
Recommendation

Prefer the documented headless Chrome screenshot/PDF method, use a dedicated output file and viewport, and review the generated image before sharing it.

What this means

The skill may require local tools or OS capabilities that are not obvious from the registry requirements.

Why it was flagged

The registry contract does not declare the Chrome/screencapture tools that SKILL.md later instructs the agent to use. This is an installation/dependency transparency gap, not evidence of malicious behavior.

Skill content
No install spec — this is an instruction-only skill; Required binaries ... none
Recommendation

Before enabling it, confirm that Chrome/headless Chrome and any screenshot utility it uses are available and acceptable in your environment.

What this means

If a schedule is enabled, the skill may fetch X.com content and send briefing files without a fresh manual request each time.

Why it was flagged

The skill advertises scheduled recurring execution. The behavior is disclosed and aligned with a daily news briefing, but it is still autonomous recurring activity.

Skill content
Triggers: (1) User requests X news briefing (2) Daily scheduled task (3) Manual trigger
Recommendation

Only enable the scheduled trigger if you want recurring briefings, and configure when and where the generated file is sent.
