ClawHub Safety Warning
Always double-check skills downloaded from ClawHub. Since anyone can create a skill, there is a risk of malicious code in some community contributions.
Summarizer Flexibility
The 'summarize' skill isn't limited to YouTube; it also works perfectly for summarizing blog articles and long-form websites directly.
Check Community Comments
Before installing a new skill, scroll down to the comments section on ClawHub. User feedback is the best way to know if a skill is safe and works as promised.
