News Source Manager (信息源管理器)

BenignClawScan verdict for this skill. Analyzed May 1, 2026, 8:15 AM.

Analysis

This instruction-only skill appears benign; it saves your news preferences locally and lets a news briefing skill reuse them.

GuidanceSafe to install if you want OpenClaw to remember your news categories and preferred sources. Be aware that these preferences are stored locally and may be reused by related news briefing skills.

用户确认后写入 `news-sources.json` ... 用户确认后设置 `active: false`(或删除)

The skill tells the agent to modify a local configuration file, including disabling or deleting categories, but the changes are scoped to the news preferences file and require user confirmation.

User impactThe agent can change which news categories and sources are used for your briefings.
RecommendationReview the before/after changes and confirm only the news source updates you actually want.
Sensitive data protection

Checks for exposed credentials, poisoned memory or context, unclear communication boundaries, or sensitive data that could leave the user's control.

Stores in: `~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/news-sources.json` ... `insight-radar` 加载配置时调用

The skill stores persistent user news preferences and exports active categories for another news briefing skill to use, which is disclosed and purpose-aligned.

User impactYour selected interests, such as finance, health, policy, or technology topics, may persist and influence future briefings.
RecommendationOnly save categories you are comfortable reusing later, and reset or remove the config if your preferences change.
