Archiver — Streaming Archive Packaging

PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 7, 2026.

Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: archiver Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides documentation and code examples for the legitimate Node.js 'archiver' library. It contains standard usage patterns for creating ZIP and TAR archives and lacks any indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.

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

If used carelessly, an archive could contain private or unnecessary files before being shared.

Why it was flagged

The skill demonstrates adding local files, directories, and glob matches into archives. This is expected for an archiving skill, but overly broad paths or patterns could include unintended files.

Skill content
archive.file('local-file.txt', { name: 'renamed.txt' }); ... archive.directory('dist/', false); ... archive.glob('*.js', { cwd: __dirname });
Recommendation

Use explicit paths, add ignore patterns for secrets and build artifacts, and inspect archives before uploading or sending them.

What this means

A different or future package version could behave differently than expected.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on installing an npm package without a version pin in the shown command. This is common for Node.js library documentation, but it means runtime behavior depends on the package version installed from npm.

Skill content
npm install archiver
Recommendation

Install from the official npm package, pin a known-good version, and review the lockfile/package provenance in sensitive projects.
