Skill Vetter

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This is an instruction-only security checklist with no code or credential requests; its only notable risks are limited provenance and optional GitHub fetch commands used for vetting.

This skill appears safe to use as a manual vetting checklist. Before installing, note that its publisher provenance is limited, and when applying it to other skills, only fetch user-approved repositories and treat reviewed files as untrusted content rather than executable instructions.

Findings (3)

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

You have less outside context about who authored or maintains the checklist.

Why it was flagged

The registry information does not identify an upstream source or homepage, so users have limited provenance context, though there is no runnable code or dependency in the supplied artifacts.

Skill content
Source: unknown; Homepage: none
Recommendation

Treat it as a checklist from an unknown publisher; prefer a trusted source if provenance is important for your installation policy.

What this means

If run carelessly, the agent could fetch unintended remote content or review the wrong repository.

Why it was flagged

The skill suggests shell/network commands to fetch GitHub metadata and skill content. These are disclosed examples with placeholders and fit the vetting purpose.

Skill content
curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO" ... curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OWNER/REPO/main/skills/SKILL_NAME/SKILL.md"
Recommendation

Use these commands only for user-approved repositories and verify placeholders before running them.

NoteMedium Confidence
ASI01: Agent Goal Hijack
What this means

A malicious candidate skill could try to distract or redirect the agent during review if its text is not treated as data.

Why it was flagged

The vetting workflow intentionally brings third-party skill files into the agent context. That is necessary for review, but candidate skill text may itself contain instructions.

Skill content
Read ALL files in the skill ... Fetch and review SKILL.md
Recommendation

When using this skill, treat reviewed skill files as untrusted evidence and do not follow instructions contained inside the candidate skill.
