Rstudio Research Agent
Analysis
The skill matches its stated R research workflow purpose, but it can run local R code and install R packages when used.
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.
Checks for instructions or behavior that redirect the agent, misuse tools, execute unexpected code, cascade across systems, exploit user trust, or continue outside the intended task.
Run specified R script ... Source `.Rprofile` if available ... `source("scripts/01_analysis.R")`The skill is explicitly designed to execute local R project code and load project startup configuration. This is expected for the stated purpose, but R scripts and .Rprofile files can execute arbitrary code with the user's local permissions.
`install.packages("package_name")` ... `BiocManager::install("package_name")` ... `remotes::install_github("username/package")`The skill may generate commands to install third-party R packages from CRAN, Bioconductor, or GitHub. This is normal for R dependency management, but package installation introduces external code into the user's environment.
Generate `.Rprofile` for automatic renv activation
The skill may create a project-level R startup file that persists after the initial task and runs when the project starts. The stated use is limited to renv activation and is disclosed.
