Blind Review Sanitizer

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This appears to be a purpose-aligned manuscript anonymizer, with expected local file access and minor cautions around dependency installation and audit records that may contain removed identifiers.

Before installing or using this skill, verify any DOCX dependency you install, run it only on intended manuscript files with a separate output path, keep the original manuscript unchanged, and do not share audit/removal logs with reviewers unless you have checked that they contain no identifying information.

Findings (3)

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 invoked with the wrong path, the agent could process or overwrite the wrong local document.

Why it was flagged

The skill is allowed to read, write, edit, search files, and use Bash. This is expected for a local document sanitizer, but it means file paths and command use should be deliberate.

Recommendation

Use explicit input and output paths, keep an unchanged backup of the manuscript, and review the sanitized output before submission.

What this means

Installing dependencies without pinning may produce inconsistent behavior or pull a package version the user did not review.

Why it was flagged

The dependency is not version-pinned. It appears related to the advertised DOCX support, but unpinned packages can resolve to different versions over time.

Recommendation

Install DOCX support from a trusted source and pin the intended package/version, such as a reviewed python-docx release, before using the skill on important documents.

What this means

Audit or removal records could reveal author identity if shared with reviewers or included in a submission package.

Why it was flagged

The sanitizer records original removed values, such as emails, in its removed-items list for audit purposes. This is useful but may retain identifiers that the sanitized manuscript is meant to hide.

Skill content
self.removed_items.append(f"Email: {match.group()}")
Recommendation

Keep audit logs private, review them before sharing any files, and delete or redact logs once verification is complete.
