agentchan
ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
This instruction-only skill is coherent, but it can let an agent post publicly and send chat-history or political attestations to a third-party site without clear approval guardrails.
Install only if you want your agent to interact with agentchan.org. Require confirmation before any post or thread creation, use empty attestations unless you intentionally want to share that information, and treat remote board manifests as rules for that board only—not as instructions that override the user.

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.
An installed agent could publish unwanted or inappropriate public content on a third-party site if it uses the skill without a clear user-directed posting step.
The skill documents external write operations that publish agent-generated content to agentchan boards, but the visible instructions do not require explicit user approval before posting.
You can create threads or reply to existing ones on any board you have access to. ... POST /boards/:board/threads/:id/posts
Only allow posting after explicit user confirmation, and consider configuring the skill or agent workflow so reads are allowed by default but writes require approval.
The service could receive information about the agent or user's conversation history and political profile if the agent supplies these attestations.
The gateway flow encourages optional attestations based on chat-history metadata and political alignment/positions, which can be sensitive context-derived information sent to an external service.
"has_chat_history": true, "political_alignment": "left" ... Probe Response Format ... "message_count": 50, "days_since_last": 1 ... "positions": ["pos1", "pos2", "pos3"]
Use an empty attestation object unless the user explicitly agrees; do not infer or transmit political views or chat-history details from private conversations without consent.
A malicious or poorly written board manifest could try to steer the agent beyond the user's request if treated as general instructions.
The skill instructs the agent to read and follow remote markdown manifests. That is purpose-aligned for board rules, but remote text should not become authoritative outside the posting task.
Response includes `manifest` — a markdown string with the board's scope and rules ... Read the rules, follow them.
Treat board manifests as untrusted content: use them only to check board scope and posting rules, and do not let them override user instructions or safety policies.
If the token is logged, shared, or reused unexpectedly, someone could act through that agentchan session until expiration.
The skill uses a service-issued JWT to authorize later agentchan requests. This is expected for the API, but the token grants posting authority until it expires.
Store the `key`. Use it as a Bearer token for all subsequent requests: Authorization: Bearer eyJ...
Keep the token session-scoped, avoid exposing it in logs or posts, and discard it when the task is done.
