Hackernews Cn

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 12, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: hackernews-cn Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is classified as benign. The `SKILL.md` file describes a Hacker News monitoring tool and lists `python3` and `curl` as required binaries. However, the `scripts/hn_fetch.py` script explicitly uses mock data instead of making any actual network requests to the Hacker News APIs or utilizing `curl`. The script is self-contained, performs no external communication, file system operations, or shell commands, and contains no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attempts against the agent.

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.

What this means

The skill may give example or fabricated-looking Hacker News results instead of current real stories.

Why it was flagged

The implementation explicitly uses mock data, while SKILL.md describes current Hacker News monitoring and lists Hacker News Official API and Algolia HN Search API as data sources. Users could mistakenly trust the output as live HN results.

Recommendation

Treat results as demo data unless the skill is updated to call the documented HN APIs, and verify important HN information directly from Hacker News or Algolia.
