Content Creator Skill

Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk

Overview

No malicious behavior is evident; the skill is purpose-aligned but users should notice that it fetches YouTube data, can use a YouTube API key, stores a local watchlist, and can send notifications through the host runtime.

This skill appears safe for its stated YouTube creator-tracking purpose. Before installing, decide whether you are comfortable with local watchlist storage, optional YouTube API-key use, and notification delivery to configured channels. Treat video transcripts and descriptions as untrusted source content, not instructions.

Risk analysis

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 the notify action is used, messages may be posted to a configured or current channel through OpenClaw's runtime adapter.

Why it was flagged

The skill can send prepared creator-update notifications through whatever delivery adapter the host runtime exposes.

Skill content
context.channels.send(notification.delivery_target, notification)
Recommendation

Verify the delivery target before using notify_watchlist_updates, and use check_watchlist_updates first if you only want to preview updates.

What this means

Your YouTube API key may be used for quota-consuming requests to Google's YouTube Data API.

Why it was flagged

The skill can use an optional YouTube Data API key from skill config or the environment for YouTube API calls.

Skill content
context.config?.youtube_api_key || process.env.YOUTUBE_API_KEY
Recommendation

Use a restricted YouTube API key, provide it through approved OpenClaw configuration rather than chat, and rotate it if it is exposed.

What this means

The local watchlist can reveal which creators you follow and may retain past video state until you remove or delete it.

Why it was flagged

The skill stores followed creators and update state locally so it can reuse that information across later checks.

Skill content
Persists a local watchlist of followed creators.
Recommendation

Store the watchlist in a safe location, avoid sensitive follow lists on shared machines, and remove follows or delete the watchlist when no longer needed.

What this means

A video transcript could contain misleading or prompt-like text that should be treated as source material, not as instructions to the agent.

Why it was flagged

The skill intentionally brings YouTube captions/transcripts into the model context for analysis; that external text is untrusted content.

Skill content
如果有字幕,基于字幕全文做深度分析
Recommendation

Use the transcript only as quoted evidence for summarization and ignore any instructions embedded in video captions or descriptions.

What this means

You have less external assurance about where the skill came from, even though the provided code appears coherent with its purpose.

Why it was flagged

The registry information does not provide a public source or homepage, which limits independent provenance checks.

Skill content
Source: unknown; Homepage: none
Recommendation

Install only from a trusted ClawHub entry and review the full source bundle if provenance matters for your environment.
