Camera
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
The skill is a straightforward webcam-photo helper, but users should be aware it uses ffmpeg to access cameras and leaves photos and short warmup videos in /tmp.
This skill appears coherent and purpose-aligned. Before installing, make sure you are comfortable giving an agent instructions for webcam capture, check that ffmpeg is trusted and available, and delete /tmp/brio.jpg, /tmp/facetime.jpg, or /tmp/*_warmup.mp4 if you do not want the captured media retained locally.
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.
If used, the agent can capture camera images and short warmup videos from the listed webcams.
The skill instructs the agent to run a local ffmpeg command that accesses a webcam and writes media files. This is expected for a camera skill, but it is a sensitive local tool action.
ffmpeg -loglevel error -f avfoundation -framerate 30 -i "0" -t 5 -y /tmp/brio_warmup.mp4
Install only if you want the agent to use your webcam, and invoke it only when you intentionally want a photo captured.
The skill may fail or behave differently depending on which ffmpeg binary is installed on the user’s machine.
The skill metadata does not declare required binaries even though SKILL.md relies on ffmpeg commands. This is a dependency declaration gap rather than evidence of malicious behavior.
Required binaries (all must exist): none
Confirm ffmpeg is installed from a trusted source and that the skill is used on a compatible macOS environment.
