Happenstance
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This is a straightforward Happenstance API skill that discloses its use of an API key, network searches, and paid credits, with no hidden code or install behavior shown.
This skill appears safe to install if you intend to use Happenstance from your agent. Before use, make sure you are comfortable giving the agent your Happenstance API key, sending search or profile-research queries to Happenstance, and spending credits for searches or research.

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.
The agent can use your Happenstance API key to access account-authorized search, groups, usage, and research endpoints.
The skill uses a Happenstance account credential for API access. This is expected for the service, but users should recognize that the agent can make authenticated account requests.
All requests require the `HAPPENSTANCE_API_KEY` environment variable. Pass it as a Bearer token:
Use a dedicated or least-privileged API key if available, monitor usage, and rotate the key if it is no longer needed.
Repeated or broad searches could consume paid Happenstance credits.
The documented API operations can spend Happenstance credits. The cost is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but users should be aware before allowing multiple searches or research requests.
- **Search**: 2 credits per search (including find-more) - **Research**: 1 credit per completed research
Ask the agent to check `GET /v1/usage` first and require confirmation before bulk searches, find-more calls, or multiple research requests.
Search queries and returned results may involve professional contacts, mutual connections, social links, and profile details.
The skill can query a third-party provider using the user's professional-network connections and friends-of-connections. This is central to the skill, but it involves sensitive relationship data.
"include_my_connections": true, "include_friends_connections": true
Use the skill only for searches you are comfortable sending to Happenstance, and avoid entering unnecessary personal or confidential details.
