ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This skill appears to be a broad SkillBoss AI/API gateway advertised partly as Slack control, with email/SMS batch capabilities and external provider access that are not tightly scoped.

Review this carefully before installing. It is not just a Slack helper in the visible artifacts; it is a broad external AI/API gateway that can use a SkillBoss API key and includes email/SMS capabilities. Only install it if you trust the SkillBoss endpoint, understand possible data sharing with downstream providers, and are comfortable requiring explicit confirmation before any outgoing messages are sent.

Findings (4)

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 user may install it expecting Slack automation while actually enabling a much broader external AI/API service.

Why it was flagged

The same artifact presents the skill as Slack control but then primarily describes a broad SkillBoss model gateway. That mismatch can cause users to misunderstand the actual authority and data flows they are enabling.

Recommendation

Rename and describe the skill around its real primary function, or provide clear Slack-specific instructions, credentials, and limits if Slack control is intended.

What this means

If invoked incorrectly, the agent could send messages to external recipients, spam contacts, disclose content, or incur provider costs.

Why it was flagged

The skill exposes outgoing email and SMS actions, including batch sends. The provided artifacts do not show safeguards requiring explicit user confirmation, recipient review, or scope limits before these high-impact actions.

Skill content
`email/send` | Send single email |
`email/batch` | Send batch emails |
`prelude/notify-send` | Send SMS notification |
`prelude/notify-batch` | Batch SMS notifications |
Recommendation

Require explicit user approval for every email/SMS send, show recipients and message bodies before sending, and add limits for batch size, rate, and cost.

What this means

Anyone or any agent action using this key may be able to consume the SkillBoss account’s quota or access enabled provider functions.

Why it was flagged

The skill clearly requires a SkillBoss bearer token for API access. This is expected for the integration, but it is still a credential that may authorize paid or account-scoped actions.

Skill content
metadata: {"clawdbot":{"requires":{"env":["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]},"primaryEnv":"SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"}}
...
Auth: `-H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"`
Recommendation

Use a limited-scope key if available, rotate it if exposed, and monitor usage and billing.

What this means

Sensitive data sent for model processing may be handled by SkillBoss and downstream providers.

Why it was flagged

The skill discloses that requests may be routed through SkillBoss to multiple third-party AI providers. That is purpose-aligned, but users should understand that prompts, files, audio, or document contents may leave the local environment.

Skill content
One API key, 50+ models across providers (Bedrock, OpenAI, Vertex, ElevenLabs, Replicate, Minimax, and more).
Recommendation

Avoid sending secrets or regulated data unless the user has reviewed SkillBoss and downstream provider privacy, retention, and compliance terms.
