Huggingface Trends
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This skill appears to fetch public Hugging Face model listings as described, with only disclosed optional proxy, JSON export, dependency, and cron-job setup considerations.
This skill looks safe for its stated use. Before installing, decide whether you trust the proxy shown in the examples, install the Python dependency carefully, and only add the cron job if you intentionally want scheduled daily monitoring.
Findings (3)
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.
The skill may not run until the Python 'requests' package is installed.
The skill relies on a manually installed PyPI dependency rather than a declared install spec. This is common for a Python HTTP client and aligns with the purpose, but users should install dependencies from a trusted environment.
pip install requests
Install dependencies in a trusted Python environment, preferably a virtual environment, and avoid installing unrelated packages.
If you use the proxy option, your Hugging Face API requests are routed through that proxy.
The documentation repeatedly recommends routing requests through a proxy. This is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but the proxy can observe connection metadata and may affect responses.
The script requires an HTTP proxy to access Hugging Face API ... scripts/hf_trends.py -p http://172.28.96.1:10808
Use only a proxy you trust, and omit the proxy flag if your environment can access Hugging Face directly.
If you choose to add the cron job, the skill will run on a schedule and write log output.
The skill includes a user-directed cron example for repeated daily execution. The included code does not install this automatically, and daily monitoring is aligned with the stated purpose.
# Create cron job for daily monitoring 0 9 * * * cd /home/ltx/.openclaw/workspace && \
Only create the cron job if you want ongoing monitoring, and remove or edit it when no longer needed.
