Workspace Hygiene Publish

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

Overview

This appears to be a disclosed workspace-audit tool that reads workspace memory and project files, writes reports, and can optionally merge memory files when explicitly run with fixes enabled.

This skill looks proportionate for workspace cleanup, but install it only if you are comfortable with it reading the selected workspace's memory and project files, writing hygiene reports, and optionally modifying memory files when --fix is used.

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 fixes are enabled, the skill may modify memory files in the selected workspace.

Why it was flagged

The skill discloses an optional auto-fix path that can change workspace memory organization; this is purpose-aligned but should be user-directed and reviewed.

Skill content
| Timestamp-format memory files | Auto-consolidate into date file |
Recommendation

Run the audit without --fix first, review the report, and keep backups before allowing automated memory consolidation.

What this means

Private workspace memory and project context may be read and summarized into a persistent hygiene report inside the workspace.

Why it was flagged

The skill intentionally reads persistent workspace memory and checks formatting that affects future retrieval and agent context.

Skill content
Scans `memory/` for: ... Daily logs older than 30 days ... MEMORY.md line count ... validates that recent memory entries
Recommendation

Use it only on workspaces you trust, review generated reports for sensitive content, and avoid treating unreviewed memory or README content as authoritative.

What this means

The workspace audit may run repeatedly and create new reports on a schedule if added to HEARTBEAT.md.

Why it was flagged

The skill suggests a recurring weekly workflow, which is disclosed and purpose-aligned but creates ongoing agent activity if the user adds it.

Skill content
Runs on demand or weekly. ... Add to `HEARTBEAT.md`: ... Weekly Hygiene (Monday) - Run `python3 skills/workspace-hygiene/scripts/hygiene.py --workspace <path>`
Recommendation

Only add the weekly heartbeat entry if recurring audits are desired, and keep the scheduled command report-only unless automatic fixes are intentionally enabled.

What this means

Users have less external context for who maintains the skill or where to verify updates.

Why it was flagged

The supplied package includes source files and no external package install step, but the registry metadata does not provide an upstream source or homepage for provenance.

Skill content
Source: unknown; Homepage: none
Recommendation

Review the included files before installation and prefer installing trusted, versioned copies.
