AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

Findings (0)

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.

What this means

If confirmed, the agent can change which skill versions are installed, which may affect future agent behavior.

Why it was flagged

The skill can run CLI update commands that modify installed skills, but it requires an explicit confirmation step before doing so.

Skill content
Then ask: "Planned action: upgrade **N** skill(s)..." ... For each confirmed skill, in sequence: 1. Run `clawhub update <skill-slug>`
Recommendation

Review the exact update list and commands before confirming; avoid approving `all` unless you are comfortable with every listed upgrade.

What this means

Update actions will be performed using the currently authenticated ClawHub account.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on the user's logged-in ClawHub CLI session for registry access and updates.

Skill content
Authentication: Run `clawhub login` in advance. The clawhub CLI stores credentials in its own default config path
Recommendation

Make sure the CLI is logged into the intended account and has only the permissions you are comfortable using for skill updates.

What this means

A user relying only on registry preflight metadata may not realize the skill needs an authenticated ClawHub CLI until reading the skill instructions.

Why it was flagged

The registry-level requirements do not advertise the `clawhub` binary/login dependency that SKILL.md and _meta.json disclose, which may make setup requirements less visible before installation.

Skill content
Required binaries (all must exist): none ... Primary credential: none
Recommendation

Confirm `clawhub` is installed and logged in before use; maintainers should align registry requirement declarations with the skill's documented prerequisites.
