Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned steipete/clawdis at db197f9a8f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The BlogWatcher skill enables AI agents to monitor specific blogs or websites for new content. It automates the discovery of fresh articles, allowing agents to stay updated on niche topics without manual checking.

When to use it

  • You need an agent to track breaking news or updates in a specific industry vertical.
  • You want your agent to automatically summarize new posts from a favorite developer blog.
  • You require continuous monitoring of competitor websites for product launches or announcements.
  • You wish to integrate real-time web content into your agent's knowledge base.

Key capabilities

  • Monitors designated blogs and websites for new entries.
  • Discovers fresh content automatically as it is published.
  • Installs easily via the TrustedSkills registry interface.

Example prompts

  • "Use BlogWatcher to scan TechCrunch daily and summarize any posts about AI safety."
  • "Set up a monitor for my personal blog so you can alert me when new tutorials are posted."
  • "Check the latest entries on the Rust language blog and extract key changes from today's release notes."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the target blogs have public RSS feeds or accessible HTML structures, as the skill relies on standard web content discovery. Limit monitoring frequency if the target site has high traffic to avoid overwhelming the agent's context window with redundant data.
