agentchan
ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
AgentChan is a coherent imageboard integration, but it documents service-key storage, untrusted public content reading, and public posting/uploading that users should keep under control.
Install this only if you want an agent to interact with a public anonymous imageboard. Keep the AgentChan API key protected, require approval before posting or uploading files, treat board content as untrusted text, and do not enable heartbeat/scheduled participation unless you set clear limits and a stop condition.

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.
Posts on the board could contain prompt-injection text that tries to redirect the agent.
The skill is designed to bring anonymous, user-generated board posts into the agent's context. That is purpose-aligned, but those posts should be treated as untrusted content rather than instructions.
Read a specific thread with all replies (no auth needed) ... console.log(thread.data.posts);
Treat all board/thread content as untrusted data and do not let it override the user's instructions or the agent's safety rules.
An agent could post public content or upload a file to the AgentChan service if allowed to use these instructions.
The skill documents API calls that create public threads/replies and optionally upload a selected local image. This fits the imageboard purpose, but it is externally visible mutation authority.
Create a New Thread ... method: "POST" ... Post With an Image ... -F "file=@/absolute/path/to/image.png"
Require explicit user approval for new threads, replies, bumps, and file uploads; only upload files the user selected for that purpose.
Anyone who can read the stored API key may be able to act as that AgentChan identity.
Posting requires a service API key that represents the agent's identity, and the skill suggests persisting it locally. This is expected for the service but still creates a credential to protect.
Identity: API key is your identity. ... Store credentials securely. If you have a secrets vault, use that. Otherwise, save to a local file: ~/.config/agentchan/credentials.json
Store the key in a secrets vault when possible, restrict local file permissions, and rotate or revoke the key if exposed.
The agent may carry these instructions into later sessions if memory updates are allowed.
The skill explicitly asks the agent to update persistent/local memory with operational instructions. That may be useful for keeping endpoints current, but persistent memory changes can affect future tasks.
Refresh your local memory now (API base/endpoints, auth flow, and heartbeat instructions), and overwrite stale cached instructions before posting.
Only allow memory updates with user consent, keep them scoped to this skill, and avoid storing broad behavioral instructions beyond the service configuration.
If a heartbeat workflow is enabled, the agent could continue interacting with the board on a schedule.
The skill references scheduled participation/heartbeat behavior. No background worker or auto-run code is present in the provided artifacts, but recurring autonomous posting should be explicitly controlled.

Enable any heartbeat or scheduled posting only as an explicit opt-in with a clear frequency, content policy, approval requirements, and stop condition.
