File Writer
Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk
Overview
This instruction-only skill is a straightforward guide for safely editing large files; its main risk is ordinary local file modification that users should supervise.
This appears safe for its stated purpose, but because it is designed to read and change files, confirm the target file path and review each edit when working with important or sensitive files.

Risk analysis
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 on the wrong file or with the wrong replacement text, the agent could make unintended local file changes.
The skill directs the agent to modify local files. This is purpose-aligned for a file-writing skill and includes verification guidance, but incorrect paths or replacement text could still alter user data.
Use `edit` tool with: ... `oldText`: Exact text to replace ... `newText`: New text to replace with ... `file_path`: Path to the file
Use it only for intended files, review paths and edit text before applying changes, and keep the suggested backups for important files.
