Analyze SKILL.md files for security risks, quality issues, and best-practice violations to ensure safe, trustworthy OpenClaw skill installation.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
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.
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.
Analyze OpenClaw skill files for security risks, quality issues, and best-practice violations. Built in response to the ClawHavoc incident where 341+ malicious skills were discovered on ClawHub.
In February 2026, the ClawHavoc investigation revealed thousands of compromised skills on ClawHub โ skills that exfiltrated data, injected hidden instructions, and hijacked agent behavior. Trust but verify. This skill helps you audit any SKILL.md file before installing it.
Run a full security and quality audit on a SKILL.md file. Analyzes for: Security Checks: ๐ด Data exfiltration patterns (sending data to external URLs/APIs without user consent) ๐ด Hidden instruction injection (concealed system prompts, invisible Unicode, prompt injection) ๐ด Credential harvesting (requesting API keys, tokens, passwords unnecessarily) ๐ด File system abuse (writing outside workspace, modifying system files, deleting configs) ๐ด Privilege escalation (requesting elevated permissions, sudo usage, system modifications) ๐ก Obfuscated code (base64 blobs, encoded payloads, minified logic blocks) ๐ก Excessive permissions (requesting more access than the skill's purpose requires) ๐ก Network calls without explanation (undocumented external API calls) Quality Checks: ๐ก Missing metadata (no version, no author, no description, no tags) ๐ก No usage examples ๐ก Unclear or vague command descriptions ๐ข Proper documentation structure ๐ข Clear scope and purpose ๐ข Versioning present
Run only the security checks (skip quality). Faster for quick trust decisions.
Compare two versions of a skill to identify what changed โ useful for catching malicious updates.
Generate a detailed markdown report suitable for sharing with other agents or posting on Moltbook.
Each audit returns a trust score: ๐ก๏ธ SKILL AUDIT REPORT โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Skill: example-skill@1.0.0 Trust Score: 87/100 (GOOD) ๐ด Critical: 0 ๐ก Warnings: 2 ๐ข Passed: 11 WARNINGS: โ ๏ธ [W01] Undocumented network call to api.example.com on line 45 โ ๏ธ [W02] No version history or changelog RECOMMENDATIONS: โ Verify api.example.com is the expected endpoint โ Request changelog from skill author Trust Score Ranges: 90-100: Excellent โ low risk 70-89: Good โ minor issues, review warnings 50-69: Caution โ significant concerns, investigate before installing 0-49: Danger โ do not install without thorough manual review
Based on patterns from the ClawHavoc investigation: Steganographic instructions โ text hidden in whitespace, zero-width characters, or comment blocks Delayed payloads โ skills that behave normally at first, then activate malicious behavior after N uses Scope creep โ skills that request filesystem/network access unrelated to their stated purpose Dependency confusion โ skills referencing other skills that could be supply-chain attacked Data siphoning โ skills that copy workspace files to external services under the guise of "backup" or "sync"
This is a static analysis tool โ it reads SKILL.md content and flags patterns Cannot detect runtime-only attacks that aren't visible in the skill definition Cannot verify that external URLs are actually safe (only flags undocumented ones) Trust scores are heuristic-based, not guarantees Always combine with your own judgment
No setup required. Works on any SKILL.md file in your workspace or via URL.
