Overview
This skill is purpose-aligned and shows no hidden exfiltration, but it can rewrite local OpenClaw skill files and keep local snapshots when used.
Install this if you want an agent to help improve local skills, prompts, or articles. For skill optimization, run it only on skills you intend to change, review the output after each batch, and clean up snapshots if they contain content you do not want retained.
Findings (2)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
A target skill may behave differently in future sessions after an optimization run.
The skill intentionally makes persistent edits to another installed skill. This is aligned with its purpose and bounded by user confirmation, batch pauses, and a max round count, but users should notice that changes can affect later agent behavior.
For **Skill mode**, resolve the skill path to `~/.openclaw/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` ... `Skill mode: edit SKILL.md` ... `If new score ≥ best score → keep the mutation.`
Use this on an explicit target skill, review diffs or summaries after each batch, and keep a backup or copy before running large optimization loops.
Old versions of a skill may remain in a .snapshots directory until removed.
The optional helper can retain local snapshots of prior SKILL.md contents. This is useful for reverting changes, but it leaves previous versions on disk.
snap_dir = skill_path / ".snapshots" ... snap_path.write_text(read_skill(skill_path))
Avoid placing secrets or private data in SKILL.md files, and delete unneeded .snapshots directories after review.
