AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

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.

What this means

If the chosen package source or repository is not trusted, installation could modify the local system with elevated privileges.

Why it was flagged

The documented setup options include external package/source installation with elevated privileges. This is expected for installing ddgr, but users should verify the source before running these commands.

Skill content
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:twodopeshaggy/jarun ... git clone https://github.com/jarun/ddgr.git ... sudo make install
Recommendation

Prefer a trusted OS package or verified upstream release, and avoid running the source-install path unless you trust the repository and understand the sudo install step.

What this means

Opening the first result automatically may visit an unexpected site, and disabling safe search changes filtering behavior.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents ddgr options that can open a search result directly or disable safe search. These are disclosed and user-directed, but should be used deliberately.

Skill content
Open first result in browser: `snap run ddgr "query" --ducky` ... `--unsafe` | Disable safe search
Recommendation

Review results before opening them when possible, and use `--ducky` or `--unsafe` only when the user specifically wants that behavior.

What this means

A user might over-trust the privacy wording and search for sensitive information that still leaves the local machine.

Why it was flagged

The privacy claims are broad for a web-search tool. The skill is purpose-aligned, but users should still understand that search terms are sent to DuckDuckGo and bang destinations may involve third-party sites.

Skill content
Privacy Features
- No user tracking or profiling
- Do Not Track enabled by default
- No stored search history
Recommendation

Do not include passwords, tokens, private documents, or other secrets in web search queries, even when using a privacy-focused search tool.
