shutdown

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This is a coherent shutdown/reboot helper that documents high-impact system commands but requires explicit confirmation and safety checks before use.

Install only if you want the agent to help with shutdown and reboot workflows. Always review the exact command, target machine, timing, and cancellation option before confirming.

Findings (2)

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 the user confirms the wrong target or timing, active sessions and running work could be interrupted.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents commands that can power off or reboot systems, but it explicitly requires user confirmation before running them.

Skill content
Never run power actions without explicit user confirmation. ... # shutdown now
sudo shutdown -h now ... shutdown /s /t 0
Recommendation

Before approving, verify the exact machine, command, timing, and cancellation path; prefer a delayed shutdown when possible.

What this means

Granting elevation allows the command to affect the whole machine, not just the current application.

Why it was flagged

Shutdown and reboot operations may require administrator privileges, and the skill tells the agent to request approval rather than silently escalating.

Skill content
sudo shutdown -h now ... sudo systemctl poweroff ... If insufficient privileges, report exact permission error and request elevation approval.
Recommendation

Only provide administrator approval when you are certain the requested shutdown or reboot is intended.
