PassAudited by ClawScan on May 7, 2026.

Overview

This is mainly an instruction-only analysis method, but it suggests optional local commands and persistent memory, so users should scope those carefully.

This skill appears safe to use as a reasoning framework. Before enabling optional integrations, review any scripts yourself, restrict file read/write access to intended documents, and keep memory or Qdrant storage opt-in with clear retention and deletion controls.

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

If granted broadly, the agent could run local analysis commands and read or write files while using this workflow.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents local execution plus file read/write and memory use. This is disclosed and related to analysis, but users should scope what the agent may run or access.

Skill content
Execution tools: exec, read, write, memory
Recommendation

Allow execution and file access only for specific, user-approved inputs and outputs; require confirmation before running scripts or writing files.

What this means

Users may assume helper scripts are part of the reviewed package when they are not.

Why it was flagged

The documentation references helper scripts, while the supplied package is instruction-only with no code files. Running these paths would depend on user-created or separately supplied code.

Skill content
python3 scripts/vdv_analyzer.py --input "<text>" --mode quick
Recommendation

Only run helper scripts that you create or inspect yourself; do not execute unreviewed files placed at the referenced script paths.

What this means

Private analysis results or flawed conclusions could be reused later if stored in long-term memory.

Why it was flagged

The skill recommends persisting patterns and analysis results. Persistent memories can affect future tasks if inaccurate, sensitive, or over-trusted.

Skill content
STORE: In your memory system (L7/L8 or equivalent)
Recommendation

Keep memory storage opt-in, avoid storing sensitive content unnecessarily, and provide a way to review or delete stored VDV patterns.

ASI01: Agent Goal Hijack
What this means

The agent could frame answers around an abstract creator, architect, or cluster goal rather than the user’s immediate request if configured poorly.

Why it was flagged

The skill includes optional identity and intention framing that could influence an agent’s priorities if treated as authoritative.

Skill content
Define who is YOUR "Architect" ... "Serve my creator" ... "Protect my cluster"
Recommendation

Use a user-centered intention such as helping the current user, and do not let this framing override system, developer, or user instructions.
