text-to-published-podcast-rss-test

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 16, 2026.

Overview

This instruction-only skill is coherent with its stated purpose, but users should know it uses a Cast0 API key to auto-publish submitted text as podcast episodes on a public RSS feed.

Use this skill only if you are comfortable sending the episode title and text to cast0.ai and having generated audio appear on a public RSS feed. Keep the API key private, do not commit the .env file, and ask the agent to confirm before publishing real episodes.

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

Text the agent submits may become a publicly accessible podcast episode without a separate publication step.

Why it was flagged

The skill gives the agent a direct API workflow for creating podcast episodes that automatically become available through an RSS feed. This is the core purpose, but it can publish public content.

Skill content
Episodes auto-publish to an RSS feed compatible with Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, and other podcast apps. ... `POST` | `/api/episodes` | API key | Create episode (`{ title, text }`)
Recommendation

Review the episode title and text before creating an episode, and require explicit confirmation before the POST request when using the skill for real feeds.

What this means

Anyone with the API key could potentially create or list episodes for the associated podcast.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on a bearer API key that can act on the user’s podcast account. This is expected for the integration, but the credential should be treated as sensitive.

Skill content
**Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer pk_xxxxx` ... Each API key is tied to one podcast. Once you have the key, save it: `echo "CAST0_API_KEY=pk_xxxxx" >> .env`
Recommendation

Use a dedicated podcast/API key, store it securely, avoid committing .env files, and rotate the key if it may have been exposed.
