Query BirdNET-Go bird detections. View recent birds, search by species, get detection details.
Security Analysis
high confidenceThe skill's code and instructions are consistent with its stated purpose (querying a BirdNET-Go instance), request only curl/jq, read a local config file for the server URL, and do not ask for unrelated credentials or install arbitrary software.
Name/description match the behavior: the script queries BirdNET-Go API endpoints. Required binaries (curl, jq) are appropriate and no unrelated credentials, files, or services are requested.
SKILL.md and scripts/birdnet.sh limit actions to reading a single config file (~/.clawdbot/credentials/birdnet/config.json) for the API URL and performing read-only GET requests against that API. There are no instructions to read unrelated files, modify system settings, or transmit data to third-party endpoints.
No install spec — instruction-only with a small helper script. Nothing is downloaded or extracted by the skill itself.
The skill requires no environment variables or credentials. It reads a single well-scoped config path in the user's home directory; this is proportional to its purpose.
always is false and the skill does not request persistent platform privileges or modify other skills or system-wide settings. It only reads a user config file and makes network requests to the configured URL.
Guidance
This skill appears to do only what it says: query a BirdNET-Go server on the configured URL. Before installing, verify the config file's URL points to a trusted local device (the default 192.168.1.50 is a LAN address). If you set the URL to a public/unknown host, that host will receive your queries and any returned data — only use endpoints you trust. Review the included scripts if you want to confirm there are no additional network calls or writes, and ensure curl/jq are available on the system.
