Modular Skill Groups

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 12, 2026.

Overview

This skill appears to be a transparent skill-group switcher, with the main caveat that its group choice persists across sessions and affects which skills are loaded.

This looks safe to install if you want persistent skill-group switching. Review the predefined groups and remember that changing the active group affects future sessions until you switch it back. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, credential use, or hidden background behavior in the provided files.

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

Switching groups may change which skills the agent considers active until the file is changed again.

Why it was flagged

The helper script changes a local OpenClaw state file that controls the active skill group. This is the intended function and is scoped to one file, but it still mutates agent configuration.

Skill content
GROUP_FILE="$HOME/.openclaw/active_skill_group" ... echo "$TARGET" > "$GROUP_FILE"
Recommendation

Use this only to activate groups you intend, and check or edit ~/.openclaw/active_skill_group if the agent appears to be using the wrong skill set.

What this means

A mistaken or unwanted edit could cause future sessions to load a different set of skills than expected.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on stored group definitions and an active-group file that are reused across sessions. If those files are changed unexpectedly, future agent context could be affected.

Skill content
Session start: read `ACTIVE_GROUP`, load skills from that group only (plus always-loaded CORE skills)
Recommendation

Keep the group file under your control, review custom group changes, and verify the active group before important work.
