Skillboss

Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk

Overview

SkillBoss is mostly a disclosed API-wrapper skill, but it exposes broad model access including batch email and SMS sending without clear confirmation, scoping, or safety controls.

Review this skill before installing. It appears to be a legitimate instruction-only gateway to SkillBoss APIs, but treat it as powerful: use a limited API key, avoid sensitive data unless provider routing is acceptable, and require explicit confirmation before any email, SMS, batch, or paid high-volume action.

Risk analysis

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

An agent using this skill could send emails or SMS messages, potentially to many recipients, causing cost, spam, reputation, or privacy problems if used without careful review.

Why it was flagged

The skill exposes external communication actions, including batch email and SMS, but the artifacts do not show explicit confirmation, recipient review, rate limits, or other guardrails for these high-impact actions.

Skill content
`email/send` | Send single email ... `email/batch` | Send batch emails ... `prelude/notify-batch` | Batch SMS notifications
Recommendation

Only use email/SMS actions after explicit user confirmation with a visible recipient list, message preview, and batch-size limits.

What this means

Misuse of the key could spend credits or access SkillBoss-connected services under the user's account.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires a provider API key. This is expected for the service, but the key may authorize paid model usage and external actions across multiple providers.

Skill content
metadata: {"clawdbot":{"requires":{"env":["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]},"primaryEnv":"SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"}}
Recommendation

Use a dedicated, revocable API key with usage limits if available, monitor usage, and rotate the key if it is exposed.

What this means

Sensitive prompts, documents, audio, or media may be processed by SkillBoss and an underlying third-party provider the user did not explicitly choose.

Why it was flagged

The skill intentionally routes user prompts and files through a gateway to multiple possible providers, and smart mode may select the provider automatically.

Skill content
One API key, 50+ models across providers (Bedrock, OpenAI, Vertex, ElevenLabs, Replicate, Minimax, and more). Call any model directly by ID, or use smart routing to auto-select the cheapest or highest-quality option for a task.
Recommendation

Avoid sending sensitive data unless the user accepts the provider routing and data-handling terms; prefer explicit model/provider selection for sensitive work.

What this means

Those examples may fail or could accidentally invoke an unrelated local helper if one exists in the environment.

Why it was flagged

Several auxiliary files show examples using a run.mjs helper, but the provided manifest contains no run.mjs file and there is no install spec for it.

Skill content
run.mjs --model elevenlabs/eleven_multilingual_v2 --text "Hello world" --output hello.mp3
Recommendation

Use the documented curl API calls unless the run.mjs helper is supplied from a trusted, reviewed source.
