McKinsey Research

AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

Findings (0)

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.

What this means

The agent may run several research sub-tasks and external web searches, which can consume time/tokens and expose market-research queries to web-search tooling.

Why it was flagged

The skill explicitly uses multiple sub-agents and web tools. This is expected for deep market research and is paired with user confirmation and scoped tool instructions, so it is a notice rather than a concern.

Skill content
TOOLS: sessions_spawn (sub-agents), web_search, web_fetch
Recommendation

Confirm the research scope before launch, provide only information needed for the analysis, and verify cited sources in the final report.

What this means

Business plans, financial assumptions, and generated reports may remain in local artifacts after the session and could be readable by other workspace tools or skills.

Why it was flagged

The skill discloses that generated research artifacts persist locally and may be visible within the same workspace, which matters because users may provide business and financial context.

Skill content
Artifacts are local workspace files. They persist across sessions and may be readable by other skills in the same workspace. Do not write sensitive credentials or API keys to artifact files.
Recommendation

Do not include credentials or highly sensitive confidential details; delete generated artifacts when no longer needed or run the skill in a workspace with appropriate access controls.

What this means

Users could over-trust AI-generated business recommendations because they are framed in an elite consulting style.

Why it was flagged

The prompt uses named consulting-firm role-play. This appears intended to set style and quality expectations, but users should not mistake the output for official or professional advice from that firm.

Skill content
You are the senior partner at McKinsey & Company presenting to a CEO.
Recommendation

Treat the report as AI-assisted research, not as official McKinsey advice or a substitute for professional diligence.
