WarnAudited by ClawScan on May 18, 2026.

Overview

This is a local UX-research logger, but it asks the agent to silently record near-verbatim details of every conversation by default, so it should be reviewed carefully before use.

Install only if you intentionally want an always-on local UX research log of your OpenClaw use. Check what is stored in ~/.uxr-observer/, avoid sharing reports without review, and consider pausing or not installing if your conversations may include private work, secrets, client data, or personal information.

Findings (4)

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

Private prompts, feedback, task details, and possibly sensitive context could be saved on the user's machine and later reused in reports.

Why it was flagged

The skill directs the agent to persistently store broad conversation records and near-verbatim user language locally, creating a sensitive long-lived memory of user activity.

Skill content
All data lives under `~/.uxr-observer/` ... `observations.jsonl` ... `reports/` ... "Capture verbatims aggressively. Log the user's actual words as much as possible"
Recommendation

Only install if you want continuous local research logging. Review or delete ~/.uxr-observer/ regularly, and require explicit activation or strong redaction if possible.

What this means

The agent may keep observing, logging, and prompting for surveys during normal work even when the user did not specifically ask for UX research in that session.

Why it was flagged

The instructions ask for autonomous, silent, continuous operation across sessions rather than only when the user explicitly invokes the skill.

Skill content
Use this skill whenever a new session begins, whenever a task completes, and at end-of-day ... trigger on every conversation — it runs silently in the background collecting observational data
Recommendation

Make the always-on behavior explicit to users, require opt-in before starting observation, and provide easy pause/delete controls.

What this means

A report could be sent outside the local machine if the user asks, so recipients and contents should be checked carefully.

Why it was flagged

The skill allows outbound sharing through available tools, but it frames this as allowed only after an explicit user request.

Skill content
If the user asks you to email them a report or send it to a colleague ... go ahead and use whatever email/messaging tools are available.
Recommendation

Before sending any report, confirm the destination, review the report contents, and redact sensitive details.

What this means

It may be harder to verify who maintains the skill or where its instructions came from.

Why it was flagged

The artifact has limited provenance information, although the lack of code or install steps reduces executable supply-chain exposure.

Skill content
Source: unknown; Homepage: none; No install spec — this is an instruction-only skill.
Recommendation

Prefer skills from known publishers and review the full SKILL.md before enabling broad observation behavior.
