Security Scan

The skill is instruction-only and its requests and instructions are consistent with a skill-discovery helper — nothing requested or installed appears disproportionate.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the content of SKILL.md: it guides searching for and discovering OpenClaw skills from known sources (clawhub, directories, GitHub, community). Nothing in the document asks for unrelated access or credentials.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md tells the agent/user to run 'npx clawhub' commands and visit public websites/GitHub. This stays within the stated purpose. Note: the skill references running an external CLI (npx/clawhub) but does not declare required binaries — users should ensure they trust and have those tools installed before running.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code is provided (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk by the skill itself. Low installation risk.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no disproportionate or unexplained secret requests.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable only. It does not request persistent presence or elevated system privileges.

Assessment

This skill is low-risk and simply advises using clawhub and public directories to find skills. Before running any suggested CLI (e.g., 'npx clawhub search') verify you trust the package and have npx/node installed. When you follow links or install discovered skills, review each skill's SKILL.md, required env vars, and install steps — treat third-party repositories and CLI packages like any external software (run in isolation/test environment if unsure).
