Distribution Agent — Publisher Pack

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This instruction-only social publishing skill is coherent and disclosed, but real/public publishing, cross-post defaults, and optional API tokens should be used only with explicit user approval.

This looks like a benign instruction-only publishing helper. Before installing or using it with real accounts, keep it in mock/dry-run, review any separate API server or worker code, use least-privilege publisher tokens, and explicitly confirm every platform and cross-post destination.

Findings (4)

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

If real mode is connected to social accounts, a publish action could create public posts.

Why it was flagged

The skill explicitly supports a real publishing route, which is purpose-aligned for a publisher pack but can mutate social accounts if enabled.

Skill content
Publisher router (dry_run / mock / real)
Recommendation

Keep mock or dry-run as the default, and require an explicit user confirmation before switching to real publishing.

What this means

A user intending to publish only on Instagram could also post to connected Threads or Facebook accounts if the real publisher honors these defaults.

Why it was flagged

The Instagram template defaults to syncing to Threads and Facebook, so one publish action may propagate across additional platforms.

Skill content
"sync_threads": true,
    "sync_facebook": true
Recommendation

Make cross-posting opt-in or confirm each destination platform before publishing in real mode.

What this means

Publisher tokens can grant access to social accounts, so over-scoped or mishandled tokens could affect account security.

Why it was flagged

The skill contemplates API tokens for real publishing, which is expected for social integrations, but the artifacts do not define specific token scopes or env var names.

Skill content
Never commit API tokens to the repo
- Use environment variables / .env
Recommendation

Use least-privilege tokens, store them outside shared repositories, and avoid enabling real mode until credential scope is understood.

What this means

Any Redis/API/worker implementation used with this skill would need a separate review because its behavior is not visible here.

Why it was flagged

The instructions refer to runtime components, but the supplied package contains only documentation files and no install spec or code for those components.

Skill content
Start Redis
2) Start API server (FastAPI)
3) Start worker
4) POST /publish
Recommendation

Before running any external server or worker for real publishing, inspect its source, dependencies, credentials, and logging behavior.
