Issue Prioritizer

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

The skill appears to be for legitimate GitHub issue triage, but it grants broader authenticated GitHub command access than its read-only purpose requires.

Before installing, confirm you are comfortable letting the skill use your authenticated GitHub CLI session. Prefer a read-only or fine-grained GitHub token, avoid using it on highly sensitive private/security issues, and ask the publisher to narrow the allowed gh commands to read-only list/view operations.

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

If the agent is confused or influenced by bad input, it may have access to mutation-capable GitHub commands under the user's account, despite the read-only expectation.

Why it was flagged

The allowed tools include broad GitHub issue, PR, and raw API command prefixes, while the skill describes itself as read-only and only needs issue/PR listing for its documented workflow.

Skill content
| Bash(gh issue*), Bash(gh pr*), Bash(gh api*), Read, Glob, Grep, Task | Analyze GitHub issues with parallel Sonnet agents |
Recommendation

Restrict the command allowlist to exact read-only operations such as gh issue list/view and gh pr list/view, or require explicit user approval for any write-capable gh api, gh issue, or gh pr command.

What this means

A GitHub CLI token with write or admin scopes could give the skill more authority than is needed for issue prioritization.

Why it was flagged

The skill uses the user's local GitHub authentication; combined with broad gh command permissions, the effective privileges depend on whatever scopes the user's gh token already has.

Skill content
- `gh` CLI authenticated (`gh auth login`)
Recommendation

Use a fine-grained or read-only GitHub credential where possible, declare the credential requirement clearly, and narrow allowed commands so the skill cannot use write-capable GitHub operations.

NoteMedium Confidence
ASI01: Agent Goal Hijack
What this means

A malicious issue description could try to influence the analysis or scoring, especially if paired with broad tool access.

Why it was flagged

The skill embeds GitHub issue bodies, which are user-generated external content, into subagent prompts without an explicit instruction to ignore commands or instructions inside those issue bodies.

Skill content
ISSUES TO ANALYZE (JSON): {paste the JSON array for this batch - truncate issue bodies longer than 2000 chars}
Recommendation

Add a clear instruction that issue titles, bodies, labels, and comments are untrusted data to analyze, not instructions to follow.

What this means

Private repository issues or security-sensitive bug reports may be processed by several model workers during one invocation.

Why it was flagged

The skill intentionally distributes fetched issue data to multiple subagents for parallel analysis; this is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but it expands where private issue content is processed.

Skill content
Spawn up to 7 Sonnet agents in parallel using the Task tool
Recommendation

Use the skill only on repositories and issues you are comfortable sending to the model/subagents, and keep limits modest for private or sensitive repositories.
