This item's current download entry is known to bounce back to a listing or homepage instead of returning a package file.
Use the source page and any available docs to guide the install because the item currently does not return a direct package file.
I tried to install a skill package from Yavira, but the item currently does not return a direct package file. Inspect the source page and any extracted docs, then tell me what you can confirm and any manual steps still required.
I tried to upgrade a skill package from Yavira, but the item currently does not return a direct package file. Compare the source page and any extracted docs with my current installation, then summarize what changed and what manual follow-up I still need.
The first open-source AI sanitizer with local semantic detection. Commercial AI security tools exist β they all require sending your prompts to their cloud. Your antivirus shouldn't need antivirus. This sanitizer scans any SKILL.md content before it reaches your LLM. 7 detection layers + optional LLM semantic judgment. Zero dependencies. Zero cloud calls. Your data never leaves your machine.
SKILL.md files are prompts written for AI to execute Attackers hide ignore previous instructions in "helpful" skills Base64-encoded reverse shells look like normal text Names like safe-defender can contain eval(user_input) Your agent doesn't know it's being attacked β it just obeys

Scan before LLM, not inside LLM β by the time your LLM reads it, it's too late Block and log, don't silently drop β every block is recorded with evidence Unicode-first β normalize all text before scanning (NFKC + homoglyph replacement) No cloud, no API keys β runs 100% locally, zero network calls False positives > false negatives β better to miss a good skill than let a bad one through
Tested against 550 ClawHub skills: 29% flagged (HIGH or CRITICAL) with v2.0 85% false positive reduction with v2.1 code block awareness Most common: privilege_escalation, ssh_connection, pipe_to_shell Zero false negatives against 15 known attack vectors
Pattern matching only β sophisticated prompt injection that doesn't match known patterns may slip through No semantic analysis β a human-readable "please ignore your rules" phrased creatively may not be caught English-focused patterns β attacks in other languages may have lower detection rates For semantic-layer analysis (using local LLM to judge intent), see the enable_semantic=True option in the source code. Requires a local Ollama instance with an 8B model.
MIT β use it, fork it, improve it. Just don't remove the detection patterns.
