Conventional Git

Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk

Overview

This appears to be a benign Git convention helper, but it can guide Git/GitHub actions and issue-closing commit messages, so users should review commands and references before use.

This skill is reasonable for enforcing Git branch and commit conventions. Before installing, make sure you are comfortable with an agent receiving broad git/gh command capability, verify any issue-closing references before merge, and confirm whether the no-AI-attribution rule matches your team policy.

Risk analysis

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 the agent uses these tools, it could modify local repository state and potentially interact with GitHub through the CLI.

Why it was flagged

The skill grants the agent broad git and GitHub CLI command access. This is related to the Git workflow purpose, but users should notice that the namespace is not limited to only harmless formatting commands.

Recommendation

Allow Git/GitHub commands only when they are needed for the task, and review high-impact commands such as push, merge, branch deletion, release, issue, or PR mutations before approving them.

What this means

Authenticated gh commands could affect GitHub issues, pull requests, repositories, or releases depending on the user's local login and permissions.

Why it was flagged

The GitHub CLI commonly operates using the user's existing GitHub authentication. The artifacts do not show token collection or storage, but the tool allowance could still act under the user's account if invoked.

Skill content
Bash(gh:*)
Recommendation

Use this skill with explicit approval for authenticated GitHub operations, or restrict gh access if the skill is only needed for naming and commit-message guidance.

What this means

A wrong issue reference or closing keyword could close the wrong GitHub/GitLab issue when merged.

Why it was flagged

The skill explicitly teaches commit-message footers that can trigger downstream issue-tracker changes after merge.

Skill content
Both GitHub and GitLab detect keywords in commit messages and automatically close the referenced issue when the commit lands on the default branch.
Recommendation

Before committing or merging, verify issue numbers, cross-repo references, and closing keywords.

What this means

Commit history may not show that an AI agent helped produce the change.

Why it was flagged

The skill explicitly instructs omission of AI-agent attribution from commit messages. This may be consistent with some commit-style policies, but it can conflict with teams that require AI contribution disclosure.

Skill content
NEVER add a Claude signature, AI agent attribution, or `Co-authored-by` trailer for Claude or any other AI agent to commits
Recommendation

Follow your project's disclosure policy; override this rule if your team requires AI attribution or co-author trailers.
