Advisory Council

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

The skill has a clear market-analysis purpose, but it asks your agent to run an unreviewed local Python file, so the real behavior cannot be checked from the provided artifacts.

Only install or run this if you know what ~/clawd/advisory_council.py contains and trust it. Inspect the script first, run it in a constrained environment if possible, confirm which API credentials it uses, and do not rely on its trading recommendations without independent verification.

Findings (4)

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 run, the script could perform any action allowed by the user's account, including file access, network calls, or environment-variable access.

Why it was flagged

The skill directly instructs the agent to execute local Python through a shell. Because the Python file is not included in the reviewed artifacts, its behavior is not reviewable.

Skill content
**You MUST actually execute the Python command using your shell/exec tool.** ... `cd ~/clawd && python3 advisory_council.py`
Recommendation

Do not run this skill unless you have inspected and trust ~/clawd/advisory_council.py. Prefer packaging the script with the skill, pinning dependencies, and requiring explicit user approval before shell execution.

What this means

Users cannot verify what code will actually run, and the local script could be missing, stale, tampered with, or different on each machine.

Why it was flagged

The skill has no installation or provenance details, but SKILL.md depends on running `~/clawd/advisory_council.py`. The executable code, dependencies, versioning, and source are outside the reviewed package.

Skill content
No install spec — this is an instruction-only skill.
Recommendation

Include the script and dependency lockfile in the skill package, declare required binaries and credentials, and document the source and update mechanism.

What this means

Running the script may use a provider account or API key and incur small charges, even though credential handling is not documented in the reviewed artifacts.

Why it was flagged

The skill discloses use of an external AI provider and a per-run cost, but the registry metadata declares no primary credential or required environment variables.

Skill content
powered by MiniMax M2.5 ... Cost: ~$0.006 per run
Recommendation

Verify which MiniMax credentials or accounts the script uses, set spending limits, and declare required credential names and scopes.

What this means

A user may over-rely on the generated report for financial decisions.

Why it was flagged

The skill is designed to produce decision-oriented trading recommendations and frames the output as trusted for real decisions.

Skill content
ACTIONS — 2-3 concrete action items with price levels ... Boss Man trusts the council for real decisions
Recommendation

Treat the report as informational only and require independent review before making trades.
