Tech News Daily
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 4, 2026.
Overview
This instruction-only skill is coherent for fetching public tech news with curl and may save local bookmarks only when the user asks.
This skill appears safe to use for public tech-news briefings. Install it if you are comfortable with the agent making web requests to the listed sources and saving bookmarks locally when you ask it to.
Findings (2)
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.
Using the skill can make requests to third-party news and developer sites, revealing normal connection metadata such as your IP address and requested pages.
The skill explicitly uses curl to fetch public APIs, RSS feeds, and a GitHub Trending web page. This is expected for a news-fetching skill, but it still grants the agent network-fetching capability.
Fetches the latest items using `curl` ... GitHub Trending | Web scrape | `https://github.com/trending`
Use it for public news sources as intended, and review summaries before sharing them; fetched web content should be treated as data to summarize, not as instructions to follow.
Saved bookmarks could reveal your reading interests or any notes/tags you add if someone else can access the local file.
The skill creates persistent local state containing saved article metadata and optional user notes/tags. This is purpose-aligned, but users should be aware that these preferences may remain on disk.
When the user says "save that", the agent appends to `scripts/bookmarks.json` with: Title, URL, source, date saved; Optional user note/tag
Avoid putting sensitive personal notes in bookmarks unless you are comfortable storing them locally, and delete or review `scripts/bookmarks.json` if needed.
