Security Scan

Instruction-only discovery skill whose instructions match its purpose; no credentials or install steps are requested, but watch for minor metadata inconsistencies and the fact that the SKILL.md recommends running npx (which will fetch+execute remote code).

Purpose & Capability

The SKILL.md, name, and description all align: this is a skill-discovery helper that points users to clawhub, directories, and web searches. Minor metadata inconsistencies exist: the included _meta.json has a different ownerId and a different slug (openclaw-find-skills) than the registry metadata (openclaw-tools), suggesting a copy/paste or packaging mismatch that should be verified.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are limited to search/discovery guidance and example npx clawhub commands and links. They do not request files, credentials, or system paths beyond using clawhub. Note: the examples use `npx clawhub ...`, which will download and execute code from the npm registry when run.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files — lowest install risk. However, the SKILL.md encourages using `npx clawhub`, which implicitly fetches/executes remote npm code. That is not an install spec in the skill bundle but is an operational risk for users who run the example commands directly.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials and the instructions do not ask for secrets. Proportional: zero privileges requested.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable. It does not request persistent presence or modify other skill configs.

Assessment

This skill is coherent and low-risk as packaged: it only offers search tips and links and asks for no secrets. Before running any suggested commands, verify the provenance of the tools it references (notably `clawhub` via `npx`). npx will fetch and run code from npm — prefer installing a vetted/clamped version, inspect the package source or use a fixed version (e.g., `npx clawhub@1.2.3`) or install locally instead of running arbitrary remote code. Also verify the mismatch in metadata (ownerId/slug) with the publisher if you need strong provenance assurance.
