Environment & Package Manager

AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

Findings (0)

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

Using this skill may add, remove, or change software versions in the user's environment.

Why it was flagged

The skill exposes commands that mutate the local software environment by installing, removing, or upgrading packages. This is central to the stated package-manager purpose, but users should notice that it can affect local tooling.

Skill content
**use**: Permanently install software to user environment ... **unuse**: Remove installed software from user environment ... **upgrade**: Upgrade installed software versions
Recommendation

Run package-management commands only for packages and versions the user requested or approved, and prefer reversible, scoped changes when possible.

What this means

If the auto-install option is chosen, code from a remote server runs on the user's machine before manual review.

Why it was flagged

The install guide includes a curl-to-shell installation option that executes remote code. The same artifact clearly labels it high risk and says to avoid it in sensitive environments, so this is disclosed rather than hidden.

Skill content
curl -fsSL https://get.x-cmd.com | sh
Recommendation

Prefer the Homebrew or manual-review install methods, and use the auto-install command only in disposable or low-risk environments with explicit user consent.

What this means

Installed packages and tooling depend on the integrity of external distribution sources.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on external package and binary sources. This is expected for a package manager, and the guide documents verification expectations such as SHA256 checksums.

Skill content
Binary packages from `https://github.com/x-cmd/release`; Conda packages from `https://conda.prefix.dev`
Recommendation

Use the documented verified sources, review scripts in sensitive environments, and avoid installing unneeded packages.
