Pre-install security scanner for AI agent skills. Detects malicious patterns before you trust code. Local-first — code never leaves your machine.
Pre-install security scanner for AI agent skills. Detects malicious patterns before you trust code. Local-first — code never leaves your machine.
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.
Scan any skill for security threats before you install it. Detects prompt injection, data exfiltration, sleeper triggers, drain patterns, and 16 more threat categories. Local-first. Your code never leaves your machine. No API calls. No uploads. No accounts.
Before installing any skill from ClawHub, GitHub, or other sources Before running skills shared by other agents When evaluating unknown code from any source After ClawHavoc: 341 malicious skills were found on ClawHub this week. Scan first.
python3 scripts/scan.py <path-to-skill-folder> Example: # Scan a skill before installing python3 scripts/scan.py ~/.openclaw/skills/suspicious-skill # Scan a freshly downloaded skill python3 scripts/scan.py ./my-new-skill No dependencies required — uses only Python 3 standard library.
The scanner returns three verdicts: VerdictExit CodeMeaningPASS0No critical or high-risk threats detected. Safe to install.WARN1High-risk patterns found. Review findings before installing.BLOCK2Critical threats detected. Do NOT install this skill.
20 detection rules across these threat categories: CategoryRulesExamplesPrompt InjectionMC-001, MC-002, MC-003System prompt override, jailbreak payloads, tool-use steeringCode InjectionMC-004, MC-005, MC-006, MC-019Shell injection, eval/exec, base64-to-exec, child_processData ExfiltrationMC-007, MC-008, MC-009, MC-010, MC-020Webhook URLs, env var harvesting, SSH key access, credential filesHardcoded SecretsMC-011, MC-012API keys in source, private key materialFinancialMC-013Drain patterns, unlimited withdrawalsLateral MovementMC-014Git credential access, repo manipulationPersistenceMC-015, MC-016SOUL.md writes, cron job creationAutonomy AbuseMC-017Destructive force flags (rm -rf, git push --force)InfrastructureMC-018Permission escalation (sudo, chmod 777)
The scanner includes context-aware filtering to reduce false positives: Env var access (MC-008): Only flags when variable names contain KEY, SECRET, PASSWORD, TOKEN, or CREDENTIAL Git operations (MC-014): Skips standard remotes (github.com, gitlab.com, bitbucket.org) Force flags (MC-017): Only flags on destructive operations, not install scripts

MoltCops protects the AI agent ecosystem from malicious skills. While VirusTotal catches known malware signatures, MoltCops catches behavioral patterns — drain logic, sleeper triggers, prompt injection, and data exfiltration that signature-based scanning misses.
