Global Nuclear Brief

Generate a grounded nuclear energy policy brief from live news using Apify + Contextual.

Security Scan

The skill's code and runtime instructions match its description: it fetches news from Apify and sends those items to Contextual to generate a grounded policy brief; the required API tokens and python3 are proportional to that purpose.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description claim live news + grounded generation using Apify and Contextual; the included script calls Apify and Contextual APIs directly and requires APIFY_API_TOKEN and CONTEXTUAL_API_KEY — this is coherent. Minor metadata inconsistency: registry summary lists 'Required env vars: none' while SKILL.md and the script require two env vars.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the bundled python script with CLI args and explicitly cautions against shell interpolation. The script only: calls Apify to fetch news, normalizes items, posts them to Contextual for generation, and prints the result. It does not read unrelated local files, exec shell commands, or contact unexpected endpoints.

Install Mechanism

No install spec is provided (lowest risk). A single Python file is bundled and run with the system python3 binary. No downloads, extracted archives, or external installers are invoked by the skill.

Credentials

The script requires APIFY_API_TOKEN and CONTEXTUAL_API_KEY which are directly used to authenticate requests to Apify and Contextual respectively; no other credentials or unrelated environment variables are requested. Ensure those tokens are scoped and revocable.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request 'always: true' and does not modify other skills or system settings. It runs on demand (user-invocable) and uses default autonomous invocation settings.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent, but check these before installing: (1) Supply only scoped APIFY_API_TOKEN and CONTEXTUAL_API_KEY and ensure they can be revoked; (2) Be aware all fetched article text and metadata are sent to Contextual — don’t use secrets or non-public content in queries if you wish to avoid sharing; (3) Confirm you trust the Contextual provider’s handling/logging policies; (4) Note the registry metadata incorrectly states no required env vars — rely on SKILL.md and the script which do require tokens; (5) Run the script in a test environment first and inspect the output and network traffic if you need extra assurance.

Nuclear Policy Brief

Use this skill when the user wants a concise, grounded brief about nuclear energy policy or regulation.

What it does

• Pulls recent nuclear policy/regulatory news via Apify.
• Uses Contextual to synthesize a structured brief grounded in the retrieved sources.

How to run

Use exec to run the script. Always pass user-provided values as arguments, never interpolate raw text into the shell.

Command template:

python3 bin/nuclear_brief.py --query "<search query>" --topic "<topic focus>" --audience "<audience>" --country "<country code>" --timeframe "<timeframe>"

Example:

python3 bin/nuclear_brief.py --query "nuclear energy policy OR nuclear regulation" --topic "Global nuclear energy policy" --audience "policy analysts" --country "US" --timeframe "7d"

Output format

Return the brief exactly as produced by the script. If the script reports missing env vars or no results, ask the user for a different query or timeframe.

Required config

• APIFY_API_TOKEN
• CONTEXTUAL_API_KEY

Notes

• Keep the demo under 3 minutes.
• Highlight the live data pull (Apify) and grounded generation (Contextual).
