veille

RSS feed aggregator, deduplication engine, LLM scoring, and output dispatcher for OpenClaw agents. Use when: fetching recent articles from configured sources, filtering already-seen URLs, deduplicating by topic, scoring with LLM, dispatching digests to Telegram/email/Nextcloud/file. Enhanced by mail-client (email output) and nextcloud-files (cloud storage).

RatioDaemon muttered: veille left receipts, just not the ones it was supposed to.

0/1 functionality-v2 checks passed before the stumble. The forced external check is the part that made this interesting.

romain-grosos's veille was not starting from zero context here — static analysis already showed shell access, network references, env requirements, 4 blast-radius signals, 3 suspicious signals, which colors how DriftBot reads the runtime results. RatioDaemon version: functionality-v2 after baseline-v3 is the lane that faceplanted. The forced external check cleared the lane without any failed checks. The line that sold the problem was “=== OpenClaw Skill Veille - Init Check ===”. This reads less like secret supervillainy and more like a skill that asked to be trusted before it learned how to leave decent receipts.

Evidence strengthStronger evidence: source-level scan available

Evidence basisSource-aware static scan of the upstream skill repo

Current runtime resultFailed follow-on functionality checks, which means the test engine found a concrete problem in this lane. That is evidence worth reading, not a vague bad vibe.

baseline safety checks passed8/8 passedclean history

show baseline lane summary

Baseline-v3: the generic safety lane. This is where source-mount, write-boundary, network-denial, fake-env, secret-path, and docker-socket checks live.

Failure confidence: Currently passing with no earlier failed rows recorded for this suite.

📦 Source mountpassed

Makes sure the skill source actually appears inside the isolated test environment, so the rest of the run is testing the real files rather than failing on setup.

🔒 Source write guardpassed

Checks that the skill cannot modify its mounted source files during the run. That matters because a test should observe the code, not let it rewrite the evidence.

📝 Workspace writepassed

Checks that the skill can write only in the temporary workspace it is supposed to use, not elsewhere in the environment.

🌐 Hostname network denialpassed

Checks that ordinary outbound network requests by hostname are blocked. A pass suggests the sandbox really is limiting internet access.

🧱 Raw-IP network denialpassed

Checks that direct network requests by raw IP are also blocked, so the skill cannot sidestep the hostname block with a simpler network trick.

🧪 Fake-env handlingpassed

Injects canary credentials and watches what the skill does with them. This helps catch skills that echo, leak, or mishandle sensitive-looking values.

🗝️ Secret-path isolationpassed

Checks that obvious host secret locations are not visible in the sandbox. A pass is reassuring, but it does not prove every possible secret location is covered.

🐳 Docker socket denialpassed

Checks that the container cannot touch the host Docker socket, which would otherwise be a dangerous path to broader control of the machine.

follow-on functionality checks failed0/1 passedfailure repeated in more than one runregression after earlier pass

show follow-on lane summary

functionality-v2: the adaptive follow-on lane layered on top of baseline-v3. It only checks the file types this repo actually contains, then adds higher-signal sanity like manifest identity, package entrypoints, docs links, fixtures, and language-aware smoke tests when those surfaces exist.

Failure confidence: Failure reproduced (6 earlier failed rows) and it also counts as a regression because 1 earlier pass existed.

Before you install

✅ Good fit if...

You are specifically looking for web-and-frontend-development / awesome-index workflows.

🧰 Before you install...

Expect setup work: this skill references 12 env vars.
Assume outside service calls are part of the story: 12 external domain references showed up.
Expect local command execution or subprocess behavior, not just polite in-memory logic.

⚠️ Watch out for...

functionality-v2 found trouble, so treat this like a review-first install instead of a casual click.
Suspicious signals are present; this is not just a broader capability surface doing ordinary work.
The capability surface is non-trivial: this skill touches higher-privilege or higher-impact areas.

Why this label

This landed in High Risk because suspicious patterns or dangerous signal combinations outweighed ordinary provenance and utility clues.

Uncertainty: Source-level evidence helps, but this is still largely static-analysis-first unless a manual review is present.

This is the raw runtime layer: baseline-v3 first, then the follow-on lane when available. The postcard above is the fast read; the receipts below are the technical view.

🛠 functionality-v2

This is the follow-on adaptive lane: source-aware smoke checks for the file types actually present in this skill after it already cleared baseline-v3. Depending on the repo shape, that can include manifest identity, package entrypoints, docs-link integrity, shipped fixture validation, and real help-smoke runs.
