Protobuf Linter
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
This appears to be a purpose-aligned protobuf linter that runs a local Python script on user-selected .proto files, with no evidence of credential use, network access, persistence, or destructive behavior.
This skill looks safe for normal protobuf linting. Before installing, note that it runs a local Python script and can recursively read .proto files under the path you provide; use it on intended project directories and make sure Python 3 is installed.
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.
Running the skill executes a local script and reads the specified .proto files or directories.
The skill is intended to execute an included local Python linter. This is expected for the stated purpose, but users should understand they are running local code against paths they provide.
python3 scripts/protobuf_linter.py lint path/to/file.proto
Run it only on intended project paths, and review the script if you need stronger assurance before execution.
The skill may fail on systems without Python 3, and the runtime requirement is less clearly declared than it could be.
The registry requirements do not declare python3 even though SKILL.md documents python3 commands. This is an operational metadata gap, not evidence of malicious behavior.
Required binaries (all must exist): none
Ensure Python 3 is available before use; the publisher should declare python3 as a required binary.
