What it does

Podbean is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Manage Podbean podcast hosting: podcasts and episodes via OAuth API. Trigger phrases: podbean, podcast hosting, publish episode, podcast episodes.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/podbean.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Podcasting. The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: podbean
  • Podcast hosting
  • Publish episode
  • Podcast episodes

Example prompts

  • “/podbean”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm before creating, updating, or deleting an episode: name the podcast, episode title, and what will change. No exceptions.
  2. Episode payloads follow Podbean's published API schema; keep them minimal unless the user asks for more.
  3. Analytics/download report endpoints are not implemented yet; do not improvise paths for them.
  4. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/podbean.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Podbean loads about 745 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 238 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~745

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Podbean

Purpose

Manage podcast hosting on Podbean: list podcasts and their episodes, create, update, or delete episodes. Podbean's analytics endpoints are a differentiator; the download/analytics report paths are not yet mapped in this connector (see Maturity).

Tooling

All commands go through bin/podbean.py:

bash
bin/podbean.py auth                                            # verify the OAuth token
bin/podbean.py podcasts                                        # list podcasts on the account
bin/podbean.py episodes --podcast-id PODCAST_ID [--limit 20]   # list episodes
bin/podbean.py episode-create \
    --payload '{"title":"Ep 12","desc":"...","audio_url":"https://..."}'  # create (confirm first)
bin/podbean.py episode-update --episode-id EP_ID \
    --payload '{"title":"New title"}'                          # update (confirm first)
bin/podbean.py episode-delete --episode-id EP_ID                # delete (confirm first)

Episode fields go in --payload as JSON, following Podbean's API docs. Media upload uses Podbean's authorize-upload flow, which is not wrapped here yet: upload the file through Podbean's dashboard or API first, then pass the resulting URL in the create payload.

Auth

  • Provider id: podbean (credential is collected as custom.podbean)
  • Collection: provider OAuth 2.0 (authorization-code) via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access)
  • Header: Authorization: Bearer <access_token> (the CLI builds this from the credential surrogate)
  • Allowed hosts: api.podbean.com
  • Status check: bin/podbean.py auth (lists podcasts; a successful list proves the token works)

Operating Rules

  1. Confirm before creating, updating, or deleting an episode: name the podcast, episode title, and what will change. No exceptions.
  2. Episode payloads follow Podbean's published API schema; keep them minimal unless the user asks for more.
  3. Analytics/download report endpoints are not implemented yet; do not improvise paths for them.
  4. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/podbean.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.
