Recipe Scout — Chinese Recipes
PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 11, 2026.
Overview
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: recipe-scout Version: 1.0.0 The recipe-scout skill is a well-structured tool for searching and normalizing Chinese recipes from reputable sources (e.g., xiachufang.com, HowToCook GitHub) and exporting them to Obsidian markdown files. The instructions in SKILL.md focus on data quality, anti-hallucination, and proper source attribution. No malicious behaviors such as data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, or harmful prompt injections were found; file system access is limited to saving recipe notes in designated paths like /home/node/vault/Recipes/Chinese/.
Findings (0)
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 may send recipe-related searches and page fetches to external websites or search providers.
The skill explicitly directs the agent to use external web retrieval tools. This is expected for recipe scouting and is paired with source-ranking and anti-scraping guidance.
**Prefer:** `web_search` (Brave Search API) + `web_fetch` for structured recipe pages
Use public recipe sources where possible and avoid asking the agent to access pages that require sensitive logins or private accounts.
If a browser profile is logged in, the agent could view recipe pages as that account while researching.
The browser fallback may rely on a session or browser profile. The artifacts do not show credential extraction or account mutation, but users should notice that authenticated browsing could be involved.
**Use browser only when:** page requires JS rendering, login/session, or video transcript interaction - If Chrome relay is unstable switch to `openclaw` browser profile
Only allow browser/session use with explicit user intent, prefer an isolated browser profile, and do not use it for private feeds, paywalled content, or unrelated accounts.
Saved recipe notes and source links will remain on disk and may be included in any Obsidian sync or future vault use.
The skill can create persistent markdown notes in an Obsidian vault, but only when export is requested and within a recipe-specific path.
If export requested write Obsidian note(s), return file paths
Review the destination path and note contents before exporting, especially if the vault is synced or shared.
