Defi Sniper

WarnAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This is a coherent DeFi trading skill, but it can use wallet-signing authority and auto-execute irreversible crypto trades through external skills, so it deserves careful review before use.

Only install this if you are comfortable delegating limited DeFi trading authority. Use a separate low-balance wallet, avoid private-key fallback, start in observe or paper mode, require manual confirmation for live trades, pin and inspect upstream skills, and do not run broad update commands unless you understand their impact.

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

The agent could spend the configured wallet or vault funds on volatile token trades, and blockchain transactions are generally irreversible.

Why it was flagged

The skill permits an automated live trading mode that can execute swaps once gates pass, without requiring a final per-transaction confirmation in that mode.

Skill content
`execution_policy`: `manual-confirm` or `auto-with-guardrails` ... If execution allowed: - enforce position cap ... - enforce slippage cap - record tx hash and rationale
Recommendation

Use observe or paper mode first, prefer manual-confirm for live trades, require a final transaction preview before signing, and set very small hard caps.

What this means

If misconfigured, over-permissioned, or compromised, these credentials could allow loss of funds from the connected wallet or vault.

Why it was flagged

The skill expects signing or vault authority capable of authorizing transactions, including a private-key fallback, which is materially more sensitive than simple read-only API access.

Skill content
Minara signer path: Circle Wallet preferred, or chain private-key fallback per Minara docs. ... Torch vault path: `VAULT_CREATOR` and linked agent wallet for vault-routed operations.
Recommendation

Use a dedicated low-balance wallet or vault, avoid private-key fallback where possible, restrict scopes and funding, and never connect a primary wallet.

What this means

The installed or updated upstream skills could differ from the versions described here and may receive trading credentials or execute transactions.

Why it was flagged

The setup uses latest-version installs and a broad update-all command for external skills that are not included in this artifact review, while the skill may later use them for live trading.

Skill content
npx -y clawhub@latest install minara
npx -y clawhub@latest install torchmarket
npx -y clawhub@latest install torchliquidationbot
npx -y clawhub@latest update --all
Recommendation

Inspect and pin the exact upstream skill versions before use, install only the required skills, and avoid `update --all` unless you intend to update every installed skill.

What this means

If configured to run unattended, related tooling could continue monitoring or acting beyond a single manual request.

Why it was flagged

The skill references an upstream component designed for continuous scanning and fast execution, although it also warns that it is not a generic buy/sell sniper by default.

Skill content
Torch Liquidation Bot ... - continuous scan loop, - high-speed vault-routed transaction execution patterns, - strict vault safety boundary.
Recommendation

Ensure any continuous bot process has explicit start/stop controls, dry-run testing, spending limits, and monitoring alerts.
