Video Extractor Pro

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

The skill appears to be a straightforward local video-frame/clip extractor, with ordinary cautions about ffmpeg availability and avoiding unintended output overwrites.

This looks safe for local video extraction. Before installing, make sure ffmpeg/ffprobe are installed from a trusted source, and when using the skill choose output paths that will not overwrite important files.

Findings (2)

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

The skill may fail unless ffmpeg/ffprobe are already installed, and users should ensure those binaries come from a trusted source.

Why it was flagged

The skill's own metadata declares an ffmpeg requirement, while the registry requirements list no required binaries and there is no install spec. Users may need to install a trusted ffmpeg/ffprobe separately.

"requirements": ["ffmpeg"]
Recommendation

Declare ffmpeg and ffprobe in the registry requirements or installation instructions, and install them from a reputable package manager or official source.

What this means

A user or agent could overwrite an existing local output file when extracting a frame, clip, or GIF.

Why it was flagged

The script invokes ffmpeg with '-y', which overwrites the specified output path without an ffmpeg confirmation prompt. This is common for automation and aligned with the skill purpose, but it can replace an existing file if the path is chosen poorly.

Skill content
cmd = [
        'ffmpeg', '-y',
        '-ss', str(timestamp),
        '-i', video_path,
        '-vframes', '1',
        '-q:v', '2',
        output_path
    ]
Recommendation

Use a dedicated output folder or unique filenames, and consider adding a no-overwrite option or preflight check before writing outputs.
