Department Manager

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to be a local department and task organizer for agents, with no evidence of network access, exfiltration, hidden execution, or destructive behavior.

Installers should treat the skill as a local task-state manager: avoid putting secrets, credentials, or highly sensitive business details into task text or completion output unless local storage at ~/.openclaw/department-manager/departments.json is acceptable.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
The manifest description is very broad and could cause the skill to be selected for many generic planning, delegation, or project-management requests. Overbroad activation increases the chance that a user or orchestrator invokes a skill with code-executing and state-modifying behavior in situations where a simpler, lower-privilege skill would have been safer.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding
The introductory text frames the skill as a general-purpose way to organize AI workers 'like a CEO' for autonomous businesses or complex projects, without meaningful constraints. In context, this makes the skill more dangerous because it is user-invocable and paired with command examples that create, assign, complete, and remove persisted task state, so loose triggering can expand operational scope unnecessarily.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The script persists department names, task text, and completion output to a local JSON file under the user's home directory without notifying the user or offering a non-persistent mode. In this skill's context, task and output fields may contain sensitive business plans, credentials, internal prompts, or agent-generated data, so silent persistence increases the risk of unintended local disclosure to other local users, backups, or later compromise of the host.
