shutdown

AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

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

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.
