BF daily-news-briefing

Automated daily news briefing generation and delivery system. Supports tech (AI, chips, semiconductors) and finance (stocks, markets, crypto) news from China and international sources. Features dual-search architecture with Baidu API (preferred) and DuckDuckGo fallback (no API key required). Use when users need: (1) Scheduled daily news delivery via cron jobs, (2) Multi-source news aggregation with AI commentary, (3) News generation with custom search queries, (4) Automated delivery to messaging channels (QQ/TG/Discord), or (5) Customizable briefing templates and delivery times.

What is at stake

Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.

Dangerous commands medium severity

Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.

If you install

The skill contains commands that delete files, rewrite disks or execute code fetched from the network. The agent may run them without asking if it believes the instructions require it.

For the author

Replace destructive commands with safe equivalents that ask for confirmation, scope them to one folder, and stop piping curl into a shell: pin a version and a checksum.

How to improve

  1. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning frontmatter-yaml SKILL.md: the frontmatter is not valid YAML (YAML parse error: Nested mappings are not allowed in compact mappings at line 2, column 14: description: Automated daily news briefing generation and delivery system. Supp… ^ ); fields were read line by line. The usual cause is a colon inside an unquoted value
  • warning missing-ref reference to a missing file: references/API_REFERENCE.md

Process rating: all ten parameters 46/100

Will not run. References files that are not bundled: references/API_REFERENCE.md
  • 0Tools and files. 1 referenced file(s) missing: references/API_REFERENCE.md
  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 30Running it twice. 8 mutating operations with no state check
  • 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (daily-news-briefing) differs from the folder (qqbot-daily-news-briefing)
  • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
  • 85Steps. 64 steps, 1 vague phrases
  • 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2940 tokens
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

External checks

ClawHub: suspicious
This skill is a plausible news-briefing automation tool, but users should review it because its delivery scripts can send reports to a hard-coded QQ recipient and its secret/outbound-delivery guidance is under-scoped.
