Overview

Prompt-injection indicators were detected in the submitted artifacts (system-prompt-override); human review is required before treating this skill as clean.

This skill appears safe for normal research use. Be aware that it is designed to search the web and cite sources, so avoid putting private or confidential details into prompts that may become web-search queries. ClawScan detected prompt-injection indicators (system-prompt-override), so this skill requires review even though the model response was benign.

Findings (2)

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

When invoked, the skill may strongly steer the agent into a research-specialist mode.

Why it was flagged

The skill frames its instructions as a system prompt and assigns a role to the agent. This is prompt-instruction style content, but it is visible, purpose-aligned, and limited to the research task.

Skill content
## System Prompt:
You are Alex, a deep research specialist...
Recommendation

Use it for research tasks where this behavior is desired; do not treat the 'System Prompt' heading as granting authority beyond the user's request.

What this means

Research prompts may be sent through web search rather than answered only from local model knowledge.

Why it was flagged

The skill instructs the agent to use an external web search tool. This is expected for verified, current research, but users should understand that research queries may be sent to a search provider.

Skill content
- Always search the web before responding
- Use `web_search` tool for external information retrieval
Recommendation

Avoid including confidential or sensitive information in research queries unless you are comfortable with it being used for web search.
