Weekly Self Improve Loop

PendingAudited by VirusTotal on May 11, 2026.

Overview

No VirusTotal analysis has been recorded yet. File reputation checks will appear here once the artifact hash has been scanned.

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 could persist new or modified instructions that affect how it behaves in future tasks.

Why it was flagged

The workflow directs the agent to create or update local skills based on extracted patterns, but the artifact does not require user confirmation, review of generated content, or rollback before changing agent behavior.

Skill content
$skillPath = "skills/local/$skillName-recovery" ... Write-Host "  Updating existing skill..." ... Write-Host "  Creating new skill..."
Recommendation

Make report generation the default, and require explicit user approval with a visible diff before creating or updating any skill.

What this means

Sensitive or misleading memory entries could be reused to shape future agent behavior or appear in local reports or generated skill names.

Why it was flagged

The skill reads recent memory files and extracts blocker text, then uses the resulting patterns to guide persistent skill creation or updates.

Skill content
$memoryFiles = Get-ChildItem "memory/" -Filter "*.md" ... $content = Get-Content $file.FullName -Raw ... $blockers = [regex]::Matches($content, "Blocker: (.+)")
Recommendation

Bound the memory paths, exclude sensitive entries, sanitize extracted blocker text, and require user review before any extracted pattern is persisted.

NoteHigh Confidence
ASI10: Rogue Agents
What this means

If enabled, the agent may initiate periodic self-improvement actions rather than waiting for a manual review request.

Why it was flagged

The artifact encourages recurring self-use based on a calendar condition. There is no background code in the artifacts, but the instruction can lead an agent to invoke the workflow without a fresh direct user request.

Skill content
### 1. Weekly Review (Every 7 Days) ... ## Self-Use Trigger ... Use when: - Day of week = Sunday (or configured)
Recommendation

Require a user prompt or scheduled approval gate before running the weekly review, especially before any persistent changes.

What this means

Local reports or generated skill names could still reveal specific blocker wording if memory entries contain sensitive details.

Why it was flagged

The privacy claim is partly reassuring, but the workflow also extracts exact "Blocker: ..." text as pattern keys, so users should not assume only numeric counts are handled.

Skill content
## Privacy/Safety - Aggregate data only (no specifics) - Rates and counts, not content
Recommendation

Clarify that blocker labels may be processed, and redact or generalize them before reporting or using them in generated skills.
