HN Reader

Monitors and fetches HackerNews stories via official API, supporting top, new, best, Ask, Show, Jobs categories and keyword searches.

Security Scan

The skill's code, instructions, and dependencies align with its stated purpose of fetching Hacker News stories from the official API and do not request unrelated credentials or system access.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the implementation: the code queries https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/ and implements top/new/best/ask/show/job/item/user/search commands; required artifacts (axios) are appropriate.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md describes CLI usage that corresponds to the code. The runtime instructions do not read files, access secrets, or post data to third-party endpoints beyond the official HN API.

Install Mechanism

No install spec; repository is instruction+node script with a single dependency (axios) declared in package.json/package-lock.json — a proportionate dependency for HTTP requests.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested or used. The skill performs only public API requests and does not require secrets.

Persistence & Privilege

Skill is not always-enabled and does not attempt to modify other skills or system-wide settings; autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default but not elevated here.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and limited to reading publicly available Hacker News data. If you plan to run it: (1) review or pin the axios dependency (package-lock.json) and install in a controlled environment, (2) run the script locally to confirm behavior, and (3) if you have a policy against allowing skills to make outbound network calls, be aware this performs HTTP requests to the official HN API. Otherwise it does not request credentials or access unrelated resources.
