Touch Tool
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 5, 2026.
Overview
This is a simple local file-creation utility with no hidden network, credential, or background behavior, though users should note that it writes to the filesystem and its documented timestamp options are not implemented in the included script.
This skill appears safe for ordinary file-creation tasks. Before installing, be aware that it can create files wherever the current user has write permission, and the included implementation does not support the timestamp options described in the documentation.
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.
If invoked with the wrong path, it can create empty files or alter file metadata in locations the current user can write.
The script creates or opens whichever file paths are supplied. This matches the tool's purpose, but it is still local filesystem mutation.
for f in args.files:
try:
open(f, 'a').close()
print(f"Created: {f}")Use it only with intended file paths and avoid important or protected directories unless you explicitly want to create or touch a file there.
Users may expect timestamp or no-create behavior that the included script will not provide, leading to failed commands or incorrect expectations.
The documentation advertises touch-style options, but the included script only defines a positional files argument and does not implement these options.
- `-a`: Change access time only - `-m`: Change modification time only - `-t STAMP`: Use specified time instead of current time - `-c`: Don't create file if it doesn't exist
Treat the current implementation as simple file creation/opening only, or update the script or documentation before relying on timestamp options.
