Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

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 could overtrust a research result if impressive-looking metrics are not tied to the actual sources and methodology used.

Why it was flagged

The skill provides a fixed example containing specific source counts, data-point counts, and confidence claims; if reused literally, those numbers could overstate the work actually performed.

Skill content
Delivery notification: "Research analysis completed. Analyzed 234 sources yielding 12.4K data points... with 94% confidence level."
Recommendation

Treat the notification as a placeholder only. Require task-specific citations, methodology notes, and only metrics that were actually measured.

What this means

Private, stale, or low-quality research context could be retained or reused in later analysis if memory/archive features are enabled.

Why it was flagged

The instructions anticipate using existing context and maintaining or reusing research artifacts. This is purpose-aligned, but could involve persistent or reused context if the hosting agent provides memory features.

Skill content
Query context manager... Review existing knowledge... Knowledge management: - Research archive - Source database - Finding repository ... - Reuse strategies
Recommendation

Clarify where research notes are stored, limit sensitive inputs, scope or clear memory when appropriate, and verify reused sources before relying on conclusions.
