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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: github.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    github.comsource host

  • 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 sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills at b80cde2ef8.

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

About this skill

What it does

The topic-monitor skill allows an AI agent to track specific topics and provide updates when new information becomes available. It can monitor RSS feeds, websites, or other data sources for changes related to defined keywords. The agent will then summarize these updates and present them in a structured format.

When to use it

  • Stay informed about industry news: Track competitor announcements, regulatory changes, or emerging technologies.
  • Monitor brand mentions: Receive alerts when your company or product is mentioned online.
  • Follow research trends: Keep up-to-date with new publications in a specific field of study.
  • Track project progress: Monitor relevant news and updates related to ongoing projects.

Key capabilities

  • RSS feed monitoring
  • Website change detection
  • Keyword filtering
  • Summarization of updates

Example prompts

  • "Monitor the RSS feed for 'AI Safety Research' and send me a daily summary."
  • "Track changes on the website example.com/blog related to 'quantum computing'."
  • "Alert me when there are any new articles mentioning 'renewable energy policy'."

Tips & gotchas

The accuracy of updates depends heavily on the quality of the monitored sources and the precision of the keywords used. Ensure that the RSS feeds or websites being tracked are reliable and relevant to avoid irrelevant notifications.
