Podcast Generation from PDF, Text, and Links
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This skill is coherent and purpose-aligned, but it sends user-approved PDFs or text to MagicPodcast using an API key and creates dashboard/shareable podcast links.
This looks safe to install if you intend to use MagicPodcast. Before using it, verify MAGICPODCAST_API_URL is set to https://api.magicpodcast.app, protect your API key, and only submit PDFs or text that you are comfortable sending to an external podcast-generation service.

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.
After confirmation, the agent can submit the provided source content to MagicPodcast to create a podcast job.
The skill uses shell command templates to create remote podcast jobs, but it explicitly requires user confirmation before creation and scopes the commands to the stated MagicPodcast workflow.
Confirm: `Ok, want me to make a podcast of this "topic/pdf" in "language". Should I do it?` ... `curl -sS -X POST "$MAGICPODCAST_API_URL/agent/v1/podcasts/text"`
Confirm only sources you intend to process, and verify the configured API URL is the official MagicPodcast endpoint.
The skill can act against the user's MagicPodcast account within whatever permissions that API key grants.
The skill requires a MagicPodcast API key and sends it as an API header. This is expected for the service integration, with no artifact evidence of unrelated use or leakage.
`env":["MAGICPODCAST_API_URL","MAGICPODCAST_API_KEY"] ... `-H "x-api-key: $MAGICPODCAST_API_KEY"`
Use a dedicated MagicPodcast key if available, keep it in environment/secrets storage, and avoid sharing it in other chats or tools.
Documents or pasted text may leave the local environment and be processed or stored by MagicPodcast, with resulting podcast links available through its dashboard.
The artifact clearly discloses that user-provided PDF URLs or text are processed externally by MagicPodcast, and it includes a warning about sensitive documents.
`Create a two-person dialogue podcast from that exact source.` ... `Warn users not to send sensitive documents unless they approve external processing.`
Do not submit confidential documents unless you are comfortable with MagicPodcast processing them; review the service's privacy and sharing behavior before use.
