CodeBuddy CLI for OpenClaw
Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk
Overview
The skill appears to be a CodeBuddy CLI helper, but it documents and demonstrates permission-bypass modes that can let an agent make broad file changes without normal safeguards.
Install only if you trust the CodeBuddy CLI package and are comfortable with a persistent global npm tool. Avoid using the documented bypass or auto-approval flags unless you are in a disposable workspace, have backups, and have reviewed exactly what files the agent may read, write, or delete.
