Security Scan

Instruction-only skill that appears to just point users to search tools (npx clawhub, websites) and requests no credentials, but minor metadata inconsistencies and an undeclared reliance on npx/npm mean you should verify sources before using it.

Purpose & Capability

The skill's name and description match its instructions (search/discovery). However, SKILL.md repeatedly instructs use of 'npx clawhub' (which requires npm/node available) while the skill declares no required binaries — a small mismatch in declared requirements vs. runtime advice.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are limited to searching/browsing skills via CLI (npx clawhub) and websites; they do not ask the agent to read local files, environment variables, or exfiltrate data. No opaque or broad instructions granting extra discretion are present.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files are included (instruction-only). This minimizes on-disk execution risk. The one runtime action recommended (npx) invokes remote packages at runtime, which is expected behavior but should be treated cautiously by the user.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, which is proportionate to a discovery/search helper.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not always-included and does not request elevated persistence. Default autonomous invocation is allowed (platform normal) but there is no evidence this skill seeks extra privileges.

What to consider before installing

This skill is mostly harmless and simply documents where to find skills, but take these precautions before trusting or running commands it recommends: - Verify the 'clawhub' package and website: confirm 'clawhub' on npm and https://clawhub.com are legitimate and maintained by a trusted author before running 'npx clawhub'. npx executes code fetched from the registry on demand, so it can run remote code. - Note metadata mismatch: the registry ownerId and the _meta.json ownerId differ; this could be an innocuous packaging error but is worth double-checking with the publisher. - Ensure you have npm/node if you intend to use the npx commands; the skill doesn't declare this dependency. - Prefer inspecting the package (npm view / browse the GitHub repo) before executing npx, and test commands in an isolated environment if you have doubts. If you want to be conservative, use the listed websites (OpenClaw Directory, LobeHub, GitHub) directly instead of running npx commands until you verify the clawhub CLI's provenance.
