Chen Find Skills

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is meant to find OpenClaw skills, but it can steer broad user requests toward persistent third-party skill installation with a global silent install command.

Review any suggested skill source before installing. Avoid using the `-g -y` install form unless you already trust the publisher and want it installed globally; prefer explicit confirmation, inspect the target SKILL.md, and know how to remove the skill afterward.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding
The metadata description is broadly phrased around users asking for help or capabilities, which can cause the skill to activate in many loosely related situations. In a skill that can recommend and install third-party packages, overbroad activation increases the chance of unsolicited package discovery or installation suggestions in contexts where the user did not explicitly request supply-chain changes.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The usage conditions include ambiguous prompts like 'how do I do X' and 'can you do X', which are common across many normal requests and do not clearly indicate the user wants external skills. Because this skill directs the agent toward third-party skill discovery and installation, ambiguous invocation can steer users into unnecessary or unsafe supply-chain actions.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill instructs the agent to run 'npx skills add <owner/repo@skill> -g -y', which both installs globally and suppresses confirmation prompts for third-party code from external sources. This materially increases supply-chain risk, reduces user review, and can persist potentially malicious or untrusted skills across future sessions.
