cae-skill
Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk
Overview
The skill mostly matches its CAE-control purpose, but its “open file” behavior can run Abaqus Python/journal scripts and its close action defaults to forceful behavior.
Use this only on a trusted Windows CAE workstation. Do not let it open Abaqus .py or .jnl files unless you intend to run them as trusted scripts, and confirm before using close_app because it defaults to forceful closing.

Risk analysis
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.
A local Abaqus Python or journal file could run with the user's privileges if the agent opens it through this skill.
The open-file path for Abaqus script-like files builds a command that runs the supplied .py or .jnl as an Abaqus script, while SKILL.md frames the action as opening a file rather than executing code.
"abaqus": { ".cae", ".odb", ".jnl", ".py" } ... if ext in {".jnl", ".py"}: return ["cmd", "/k", "abaqus", "cae", f"script={file_path}"]Only use open_file_in_app on trusted .py/.jnl files, and the skill should require explicit confirmation or separate action naming for script execution.
If the agent closes a running CAE application, unsaved work could be lost depending on how close_app handles the force flag.
The close_app action defaults to requesting forceful behavior. Closing CAE applications is purpose-aligned, but a forceful default can be risky if invoked without clear user confirmation.
result = close_app(... force=args.get("force", True))Ask for explicit user confirmation before closing applications, and prefer a non-forceful default unless the user specifically requests force.
Users have less information for independently verifying who maintains the skill or where updates come from.
The package has limited provenance information. No remote installer or hidden dependency is shown, so this is a provenance note rather than a direct malicious signal.

Install only if you trust the publisher/package source, and review the local code before use on important CAE workstations.
