Market News Analyst

BenignClawScan verdict for this skill. Analyzed May 1, 2026, 7:15 AM.

Analysis

This instruction-only skill is coherently focused on read-only market news analysis and shows no evidence of credential access, persistence, code execution, or data mutation.

GuidanceThis appears safe to install as an instruction-only research skill. Be comfortable with it using web search/fetch tools for market news, and do not treat its output as a substitute for independent financial advice or primary-source verification.

SKILL.md
The skill automatically collects news from trusted sources using WebSearch and WebFetch tools

The skill explicitly uses web tools to gather recent news. This is purpose-aligned and read-only, but users should understand it will browse external sources and rely on fetched content.

User impactThe agent may contact external news sites and summarize information from them when answering market-news questions.
RecommendationUse the skill for research assistance, but verify important market or investment conclusions against primary sources.

metadata
Source: unknown; Homepage: none

The publisher/source provenance is limited. This is low impact here because the artifact set is instruction-only with no install script or executable code.

User impactUsers have less provenance information about who maintains the skill, although no runnable code is present.
RecommendationPrefer skills from publishers you trust, and review the instructions if relying on them for financial analysis.
