Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

Findings (0)

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

A generated skill could run local commands or background processes if the user approves that design.

Why it was flagged

The skill teaches generated CLI-wrapper skills how to run local commands. This is purpose-aligned for skill construction and includes safety guidance, but local command execution is still a capability users should review per generated skill.

Skill content
Use `exec` tool. Always set timeouts (hung CLIs block the agent). For long-running commands, use background mode + `process` tool to poll.
Recommendation

Review generated command lists, timeouts, arguments, and affected paths before using or publishing any skill produced with this guide.

What this means

A generated monitor skill could keep checking conditions and sending notifications after setup.

Why it was flagged

The monitor pattern describes scheduled or heartbeat-based behavior for generated monitoring skills. It is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but scheduled agent activity should be intentionally scoped.

Skill content
Use `cron` tool. See docs: `/automation/cron-jobs`.

### Heartbeat
Add check instructions to `<workspace>/HEARTBEAT.md` with a time threshold.
Recommendation

Only enable cron or heartbeat behavior with clear frequency, stopping conditions, notification destination, and state-cleanup guidance.

What this means

A generated skill may store state or memory that persists across sessions and affects future behavior.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents persistent memory and state locations for generated skills. This is expected for OpenClaw integration, but persistent context can influence later tasks if not bounded.

Skill content
State locations:
- `<workspace>/memory/` — user-facing context
- `{baseDir}/state.json` — skill-internal state (travels with skill)
- `<workspace>/state/<skill>.json` — skill state in common workspace area
Recommendation

For any generated skill, document what is stored, where it is stored, retention expectations, and how the user can inspect or delete it.

What this means

Users have less external provenance information to verify who authored or maintains the skill.

Why it was flagged

The registry metadata does not provide an external source or homepage for provenance review. The impact is limited because this is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files.

Skill content
Source: unknown
Homepage: none
Recommendation

Review the included instructions directly and rely on trusted registry ownership before installing or using it for important skill-building work.
