TASTES.md

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

Overview

This instruction-only skill is purpose-aligned, but it deliberately reads memory and adds persistent taste-related instructions, so users should understand that behavior before enabling it.

This skill appears benign and instruction-only. Install it if you want the agent to use memory to learn your aesthetic preferences, but review both the generated TASTES.md and the AGENTS.md section it adds so persistent future behavior matches your expectations.

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

The agent may review personal historical memory to build a reusable taste profile that can influence future creative outputs.

Why it was flagged

The skill explicitly mines long-term memory and daily logs to infer aesthetic preferences, then stores distilled constraints in TASTES.md for reuse.

Skill content
“MEMORY.md — read directly”; “Recent daily logs — read today's and yesterday's memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md”; “Old daily logs via memory_search — most signals hide here.”
Recommendation

Use this only if you are comfortable with the agent searching memory for aesthetic signals, and review the proposed TASTES.md before saving.

What this means

Future creative tasks may be influenced by the added aesthetic rules until the AGENTS.md section is removed.

Why it was flagged

The skill directs the agent to make a persistent change to AGENTS.md so future creative work reads and applies TASTES.md.

Skill content
“On first activation, check if AGENTS.md contains ## Aesthetic Judgment. If not, append...”
Recommendation

After installation, review the added AGENTS.md section and remove it if you do not want persistent aesthetic guidance.

What this means

If the remote SKILL.md changes, a manual reinstall could fetch different instructions than the reviewed artifact.

Why it was flagged

The documented manual install fetches the skill file from a remote URL. It does not execute downloaded code, but the user still depends on that remote content being trustworthy.

Skill content
“mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/tastes && curl -fsSL https://tastes.md/SKILL.md -o ~/.openclaw/skills/tastes/SKILL.md”
Recommendation

Inspect the downloaded SKILL.md before use or install from a trusted, versioned source.
