Straker Verify

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This appears to be a legitimate Straker translation skill, but it uses your Straker API key and can send text or files to Straker, including for optional human review.

Before installing, verify that you trust the Straker publisher and API endpoint, keep STRAKER_VERIFY_API_KEY secure, and only ask the assistant to upload files or confirm projects when you are comfortable with the content, cost, and any human-review implications.

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 used carelessly, the assistant could submit or confirm a translation job the user did not intend.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents account-mutating API operations that can create and confirm translation projects. This is purpose-aligned, but project confirmation may have business or cost implications.

Skill content
### Confirm Project

Required when `confirmation_required=true`:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api-verify.straker.ai/project/confirm
Recommendation

Review project details, files, target languages, and any pricing or confirmation step before asking the assistant to create or confirm a project.

What this means

Anyone or any agent process with access to the environment variable may be able to use the Straker API under the user's account.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires a Straker API key and uses it as a Bearer token for authenticated API calls. This is expected for the integration, but it gives the assistant access to the user's Straker account capabilities.

Skill content
All requests (except `/languages`) require Bearer token authentication:

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $STRAKER_VERIFY_API_KEY"
Recommendation

Store the API key securely, rotate it if exposed, and use the least-privileged key available from Straker if supported.

What this means

Users may have less assurance that the registry package is officially published by Straker.

Why it was flagged

The registry metadata does not provide a verified source, although the SKILL.md claims a Straker repository and homepage. Because this is instruction-only and has no executable code, this is a provenance note rather than a concern.

Skill content
Source: unknown
Recommendation

Verify the publisher, homepage, and API documentation before adding the API key or sending sensitive documents.

What this means

Private or regulated content could be uploaded to Straker and, for human verification, reviewed by people.

Why it was flagged

The documented workflows send user files to an external provider and optionally to human reviewers. This is central to the skill's purpose and is disclosed, but it crosses a data boundary.

Skill content
curl -X POST https://api-verify.straker.ai/project \
  -F "files=@document.txt" ...

### Human Verification

Add professional human review to translations
Recommendation

Only send documents you are allowed to share with Straker and human reviewers, and review Straker's privacy, retention, and compliance terms for sensitive content.
