ClawHub Skill Guide — Scanner Compliance

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation and template skill for publishing OpenClaw skills, with no evidence of hidden execution, credential access, persistence, or exfiltration.

Before using the publishing workflow, review the skill directory for secrets or unrelated files, and tighten any copied trigger descriptions so generated skills activate only for their intended tasks.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The guidance explicitly tells authors to include trigger keywords and activation scenarios, but it does not pair that advice with constraints on when the skill should not activate. In a skill whose purpose is helping content pass a security scanner, broad trigger phrasing can cause over-activation and make the skill influence unrelated tasks, including ones involving publishing, packaging, or security-sensitive configuration choices.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
Stating that the description is the primary trigger mechanism and recommending keywords matching user queries incentivizes maximizing activation breadth. Without equally strong guidance to limit scope, this can create ambiguous descriptions that cause the skill to be invoked in contexts beyond its intended domain, which is especially risky for a guide focused on passing security scans and publication workflows.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The template instructs authors to use generic placeholder trigger guidance like 'scenario1, scenario2, scenario3' rather than requiring precise invocation boundaries. In a skill ecosystem, vague descriptions can cause unintended or overly broad activation, which may lead users or orchestrators to invoke the skill in inappropriate contexts and increase the chance of unsafe downstream behavior.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The document provides `npx clawhub publish` commands that upload a local skill directory and associated metadata, but it does not explicitly warn users that publishing transmits local files to a remote service. In a skill-authoring context this can lead to accidental disclosure of secrets, test artifacts, or other unintended contents if users follow the workflow without first verifying what will be included.
