# Send Skill Scanner to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### Skill Scanner

Scan OpenClaw skills for security issues before you install them. 341 malicious skills were found on ClawHub — don't be the next victim.

### Why This Exists

The ClawHub marketplace had 22-26% of skills flagged as containing vulnerabilities. Common attacks include:

Credential stealers disguised as benign plugins
Typosquatting (fake names similar to popular skills)
Data exfiltration via hidden HTTP requests
Obfuscated code hiding malicious payloads
Prompt injection via SKILL.md content

### Scan a local skill directory

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py scan --path ~/.openclaw/skills/some-skill/

### Scan a SKILL.md file directly

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py scan --file ./SKILL.md

### Scan with verbose output

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py scan --path ~/.openclaw/skills/some-skill/ --verbose

### Scan all installed skills

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py scan-all

### Scan with binary checksum verification

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py scan --path ~/.openclaw/skills/some-skill/ --checksum checksums.json

### Generate checksums for binary assets

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py checksum --path ~/.openclaw/skills/some-skill/ -o checksums.json

### Verify checksums against a manifest

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py checksum --path ~/.openclaw/skills/some-skill/ --verify checksums.json

### Output as JSON

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/scanner.py scan --path ./skill-dir/ --json

### SKILL.md Analysis

Suspicious URLs (non-HTTPS, IP addresses, URL shorteners)
Prompt injection patterns (hidden instructions, override attempts)
Requests for credentials, API keys, or tokens
Obfuscated or encoded content (base64, hex, unicode escapes)

### Script Analysis

Network calls (curl, wget, requests, urllib, fetch)
File system writes outside expected paths
Environment variable access (credential harvesting)
Shell command execution (os.system, subprocess, exec)
Obfuscated strings (base64 decode, eval, exec)
Data exfiltration patterns (POSTing to external URLs)
Cryptocurrency wallet patterns
Known malicious domains
Dynamic instruction fetching (remote .md/.yaml/.json downloads)
Fetch-and-execute patterns (remote code execution)
Telemetry leaks (printenv, logging env vars/configs/secrets to stdout)
Binary/asset risks (prebuilt executables, compiled code, library injection)
Shell=True in subprocess calls (RCE risk)
Path traversal patterns (directory escape via ../ sequences)

### Name Analysis

Typosquatting detection (compares against known popular skills)
Edit distance calculation to catch misspellings and character swaps

### Binary/Asset Checksum Verification

SHA-256 checksums for all binary files (.exe, .dll, .so, .wasm, .pyc, etc.)
Generate checksum manifests for trusted skill versions
Verify binaries against expected checksums on update
Flags unverified binaries and checksum mismatches (tampering detection)

### Metadata Analysis

Excessive permission requirements
Suspicious install scripts
Env requirements that seem unnecessary

### Risk Levels

CRITICAL — Almost certainly malicious. Do NOT install.
HIGH — Likely malicious or extremely risky. Manual review required.
MEDIUM — Suspicious patterns found. Review before installing.
LOW — Minor concerns. Probably safe but worth checking.
CLEAN — No issues detected. Safe to install.

### Tips

Always scan before installing ANY third-party skill
Even "CLEAN" results aren't a guarantee — this catches known patterns
If a skill needs network access, verify the domains it contacts
Cross-reference skill names with known typosquats
When in doubt, read the source code yourself
