PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 13, 2026.
Overview
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: parakeet-mlx Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is benign. It defines a local speech-to-text skill using the `parakeet-mlx` CLI tool. The `SKILL.md` provides clear instructions for installation via `uv tool install` and usage examples, all consistent with the stated purpose. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts against the agent, or obfuscation. The described actions, such as local file processing and model downloads from Hugging Face, are legitimate for this type of tool.

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.
Installing the skill may add third-party software and download ML model files to the local machine.
The skill relies on third-party package installation, model downloads, and ffmpeg. These are disclosed and purpose-aligned for local ASR, but users should recognize the external dependency chain.
Install CLI with: `uv tool install parakeet-mlx -U` ... Models download from Hugging Face to `~/.cache/huggingface` on first run. ... Requires `ffmpeg` installed for audio processing.
Install only if you trust the Parakeet MLX package and model source, and confirm ffmpeg and Apple Silicon compatibility before use.
