letheClaw

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

The skill is coherent as a memory integration, but it gives the agent broad persistent-memory authority and tells it to trust and write memories with limited explicit user control.

Install only if you control and trust the letheClaw API endpoint. Set LETHECLAW_API_URL explicitly, decide what the agent is allowed to remember, and consider requiring confirmation before it stores observations or relies on recalled memories.

ConcernHigh Confidence
ASI01: Agent Goal Hijack
What this means

The agent may rely on stored memories even when they are stale, wrong, poisoned, or when the user expected a fresh answer without memory lookup.

Why it was flagged

The skill instructs the agent to always use this memory API first and treat it as authoritative, which can override normal source-checking or a user's preference not to use the memory store.

Skill content
## ⚠️ PROTOCOL (NON-NEGOTIABLE) ... ALWAYS query letheClaw API FIRST ... letheClaw is the authoritative memory system ... No exceptions. This is operator-mandated protocol.
Recommendation

Allow users to opt out of memory lookup, treat recalled memory as untrusted context to verify, and avoid mandatory 'no exceptions' tool-use language.

What this means

Sensitive or inaccurate information could be saved and later influence the agent's answers across sessions.

Why it was flagged

The skill can store persistent memories based on agent observations, then reuse full returned memory content directly in later tasks. The artifacts do not define consent, retention, deletion, sensitivity filters, or validation controls.

Skill content
When the user says "log this", "remember that", or you observe something worth recording: ... POST to letheClaw API ... Search results include full content ... Use the returned content directly.
Recommendation

Use only with a trusted letheClaw API, require confirmation before storing agent-observed information, define retention/deletion controls, and verify important recalled memories.

What this means

The agent can change what the memory system stores and how important memories appear to be.

Why it was flagged

The network and mutation endpoints are purpose-aligned for a memory-management skill, but they let the agent create and modify persistent memory records.

Skill content
tools: [network] ... POST `{LETHECLAW_API_URL}/memory` ... POST `{LETHECLAW_API_URL}/memory/{memory_id}/criticality` ... POST `{LETHECLAW_API_URL}/memory/{memory_id}/correction`
Recommendation

Set LETHECLAW_API_URL to an endpoint you control and monitor memory writes or require confirmation for changes.

What this means

Users have less external context for verifying who maintains the skill or the intended letheClaw API behavior.

Why it was flagged

The skill is instruction-only, but the registry metadata does not provide a source repository or homepage for provenance review.

Recommendation

Prefer installing from a publisher or repository you trust, and review the letheClaw API deployment you connect to.
