Protein Mining

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 11, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: protein-mining Version: 1.0.0 The protein-mining skill bundle describes a legitimate bioinformatics workflow for automated protein discovery and analysis. It outlines a 7-module process involving literature review, sequence collection, HMM modeling, and phylogenetic analysis using standard scientific tools like MAFFT, HMMER, and IQ-TREE. There are no signs of malicious code, data exfiltration, or prompt injection; the instructions are strictly aligned with the stated purpose of computational biology research.

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

A user or agent may need to find and run external tools that were not fully declared by the skill metadata.

Why it was flagged

The skill declares only three required binaries and no install steps, but its instructions reference many additional dependencies and a `protein-mining` CLI that is not supplied in the artifact set.

Skill content
requires: { "bins": ["mafft", "hmmbuild", "iqtree"] }, "install": [] ... Software Dependencies ... AlphaFold2 / ColabFold, Foldseek 8.0+ ... Usage: protein-mining --target "ABC transporter" --species plants
Recommendation

Before using the workflow, verify the exact executable and dependencies from trusted sources and avoid running an unknown `protein-mining` command from the system path.

What this means

Users could over-trust generated protein candidates, figures, or hypotheses without sufficient scientific validation.

Why it was flagged

The description frames the workflow as producing publishable, high-quality academic results, which may encourage overreliance on generated analyses.
