Pythesis Plot

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

Installing from a changing remote repository or unpinned packages could affect the local agent environment.

Why it was flagged

The installation guidance pulls a remote repository into a persistent skills directory and installs unpinned dependencies. This is normal for a Python plotting skill, but users should trust and verify the source.

Skill content
git clone https://github.com/stephenlzc/pythesis-plot.git ~/.claude/skills/pythesis-plot
pip install pandas matplotlib seaborn openpyxl numpy scipy
Recommendation

Install only from a trusted repository, prefer a virtual environment, and pin or review dependencies when possible.

What this means

Local Python code will run to create figures, which can modify files in the chosen output directory.

Why it was flagged

The skill generates and executes local Python plotting code. This is disclosed and central to the purpose, and the workflow requires user confirmation before generation.

Skill content
Generate {timestamp}_plot.py (Python code)
3. Execute code to generate charts:
Recommendation

Keep the confirmation step, run in a controlled Python environment, and review generated code if the dataset or environment is sensitive.

What this means

Sensitive or unpublished research data may remain on disk in the output folder after use.

Why it was flagged

The workflow saves a copy of uploaded data and derived artifacts such as reports and generated code. This is expected for reproducible plotting, but it creates persistent local copies.

Skill content
Auto-save: Rename to `timestamp-original_filename`, save to `output/YYYYMMDD-filename/`
Recommendation

Use appropriate local file permissions, avoid uploading confidential data unless intended, and delete or secure output directories when finished.
