news-video-maker
Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk
Overview
This skill is a coherent news-video creation workflow, with minor cautions around using external tools and overwriting output files.
This appears safe to use for creating news briefing videos, but confirm the available search/TTS tools, use a trusted FFmpeg installation, and choose output filenames carefully because the provided command can overwrite existing files.
Static analysis

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.
If the output path points to an existing file, the generated video could overwrite it.
The skill directs use of a local FFmpeg command with user-provided paths, and the '-y' flag overwrites the output file if it already exists. This is expected for video creation, but it should remain user-directed.
ffmpeg -y -loop 1 -i "{background_image}" -i "{audio_file}" ... "{output_video}"Before running the command, confirm the background image, audio, subtitle, and output paths, and avoid using an output filename that should be preserved.
The skill may fail or behave differently depending on which search, TTS, and FFmpeg tools are available in the user's environment.
The instructions depend on external search/TTS tools and FFmpeg, while the registry metadata declares no required binaries or install spec. This is an under-declared dependency issue, not evidence of hidden code.
Use `freeUnlimited-websearch` or `ollama_web_search` or `tavily-search` skill ... Use FFmpeg to combine background image, audio, and add subtitles.
Install and verify trusted versions of FFmpeg and any search/TTS tools before using the skill.
