Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill fetches data from the official Hacker News (Firebase) and Algolia search APIs. These are well-known services used appropriately for the skill's stated purpose.
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes user-generated content from Hacker News which could theoretically contain malicious instructions.
- Ingestion points: The
scripts/hn.pyscript retrieves stories, comments, and user profiles from external API endpoints. - Boundary markers: Absent. The content is retrieved and displayed without specific delimiters or ignore-instruction warnings.
- Capability inventory: The skill's capabilities are restricted to network read operations (GET requests) using
httpx; it lacks file system write access or shell command execution capabilities. - Sanitization: The skill employs an
html_to_textfunction that uses regular expressions to strip HTML tags and unescape characters from the input data before it is displayed.
