Solutions

1. Configure the Xiaohongshu API base URL (XIAOHONGSHU_BASE_URL / the skill's base_url setting) to point at your running Xiaohongshu API instance.
2. If you do not intend to use the Xiaohongshu source, exclude it from the run (--sources without xiaohongshu or INCLUDE_SOURCES without it).

When it happens

Trigger: Fires when the Xiaohongshu source is enabled but its API base URL is not configured. Occurs when the required environment variable/config entry for the Xiaohongshu API endpoint is missing or empty before the client makes its first request.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
