Proactive Agent V2

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 11, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: proactive-agent-v2 Version: 1.0.0 The bundle provides a sophisticated framework for a 'Proactive Agent' focused on autonomy, memory persistence (WAL Protocol, Working Buffer), and self-improvement. While it encourages high-risk behaviors like 'Relentless Resourcefulness' (trying multiple CLI/browser approaches) and autonomous background tasks, it includes extensive security guardrails in SKILL.md, AGENTS.md, and references/security-patterns.md to prevent prompt injection and unauthorized external actions. It also features a legitimate security auditing script (scripts/security-audit.sh) and emphasizes human approval for sensitive operations.

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.

ASI01: Agent Goal Hijack
What this means

A file placed in the workspace could steer the agent's behavior and then be deleted, making it harder for the user to review what happened.

Why it was flagged

This makes a workspace file an automatic startup instruction source and removes it afterward, without origin validation or user approval.

Skill content
If `BOOTSTRAP.md` exists, follow it, then delete it.
Recommendation

Disable automatic BOOTSTRAP execution/deletion, or require the agent to show the file contents and get explicit approval before following or removing it.

What this means

The agent could disrupt the user's local session or move files unexpectedly during proactive maintenance.

Why it was flagged

The heartbeat checklist encourages periodic local environment changes, including closing apps and moving files to trash, without repeating an explicit approval step.

Skill content
### Close Unused Apps
Check for apps not used recently, close if safe.
...
### Desktop Cleanup
- Move old screenshots to trash
Recommendation

Require confirmation before closing apps, moving files, cleaning the desktop, or making any other local-environment change.

What this means

If the agent has connected email or calendar tools, it may read private account information proactively and repeatedly.

Why it was flagged

The skill tells the agent to inspect sensitive account data during periodic checks, but the metadata declares no credentials and the artifacts do not bound which accounts, folders, calendars, or time windows may be accessed.

Skill content
Things to check periodically:
- Emails - anything urgent?
- Calendar - upcoming events?
Recommendation

Limit the agent to specific accounts/calendars, define read-only scopes and frequency, and require user approval before enabling these checks.

What this means

Users have less information for deciding whether to trust the author and packaged script.

Why it was flagged

The skill includes instructions and a shell script but has incomplete provenance information.

Skill content
Source: unknown
Homepage: none
Recommendation

Review the included files before copying them into a workspace or running the audit script, especially because the skill changes persistent agent behavior.

What this means

Personal details and conversation context may be written down and reused across sessions longer than the user expects.

Why it was flagged

The memory design persists critical details from messages into local state files, and related artifacts also store user profile, relationships, preferences, and long-term memories.

Skill content
`SESSION-STATE.md` | Active working memory (current task) | Every message with critical details
Recommendation

Define what may be remembered, where it is stored, retention/deletion rules, and require review before persisting sensitive personal or business information.

What this means

Private task context could be passed to additional agents if the user's environment supports that workflow.

Why it was flagged

The troubleshooting guidance includes spawning other agents, but the artifacts do not specify what context may be shared with them or how their identity and permissions are bounded.

Skill content
Use every tool: CLI, browser, web search, spawning agents
Recommendation

Only spawn sub-agents with explicit user approval and provide minimal, redacted context unless sharing is clearly intended.

ConcernHigh Confidence
ASI10: Rogue Agents
What this means

The agent's rules may drift over time, and future behavior may be influenced by automatically written instructions or mistaken lessons.

Why it was flagged

The skill encourages the agent to modify persistent operating rules and related files on its own, which can change future agent behavior without a user-reviewed diff.

Skill content
Update AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, or relevant file immediately

Don't wait for permission to improve.
Recommendation

Require user approval or at least visible diffs before changing AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, skill files, or other persistent instruction sources.
