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.
When invoked, the skill may strongly steer the agent into a research-specialist mode.
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.
## System Prompt: You are Alex, a deep research specialist...
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.
Research prompts may be sent through web search rather than answered only from local model knowledge.
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.
- Always search the web before responding - Use `web_search` tool for external information retrieval
Avoid including confidential or sensitive information in research queries unless you are comfortable with it being used for web search.
