# Send Skill Scan to your agent
Use the source page and any available docs to guide the install because the item is currently unstable or timing out.
## Fast path
- Open the source page via Review source status.
- If you can obtain the package, extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the source page and extracted files.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I tried to install a skill package from Yavira, but the item is currently unstable or timing out. Inspect the source page and any extracted docs, then tell me what you can confirm and any manual steps still required. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I tried to upgrade a skill package from Yavira, but the item is currently unstable or timing out. Compare the source page and any extracted docs with my current installation, then summarize what changed and what manual follow-up I still need. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks.

## Documentation

### Skill-Scan — Security Auditor for Agent Skills

Multi-layered security scanner for OpenClaw skill packages. Detects malicious code, evasion techniques, prompt injection, and misaligned behavior through static analysis and optional LLM-powered deep inspection. Run this BEFORE installing or enabling any untrusted skill.

### Features

6 analysis layers — pattern matching, AST/evasion, prompt injection, LLM deep analysis, alignment verification, meta-analysis
60+ detection rules — execution threats, credential theft, data exfiltration, obfuscation, behavioral signatures
Context-aware scoring — reduces false positives for legitimate API skills
ClawHub integration — scan skills directly from the registry by slug
Multiple output modes — text report (default), --json, --compact, --quiet
Exit codes — 0 for safe, 1 for risky (easy scripting integration)

### When to Use

MANDATORY before installing or enabling:

Skills from ClawHub (any skill not authored by you)
Skills shared by other users or teams
Skills from public repositories
Any skill package you haven't personally reviewed

RECOMMENDED for periodic audits of already-installed skills.

### Quick Start

# Scan a local skill directory
skill-scan scan /path/to/skill

# Scan a skill from ClawHub before installing it
skill-scan scan-hub some-skill-slug

# Batch scan all installed skills
skill-scan batch /path/to/skills-directory

# JSON output for programmatic use
skill-scan scan-hub some-skill-slug --json

# Quiet mode (just score + verdict)
skill-scan scan-hub some-skill-slug --quiet

### Risk Scoring

RiskScoreActionLOW80-100Safe to installMEDIUM50-79Review findings before installingHIGH20-49Do NOT install — serious threats detectedCRITICAL0-19Do NOT install — multiple critical threats

### Exit Codes

0 — LOW risk (safe to proceed)
1 — MEDIUM or higher (block installation)

### LLM Options

skill-scan scan-hub slug --llm        # Always run deep analysis (layers 4-5)
skill-scan scan-hub slug --llm-auto   # LLM only if pattern scan finds MEDIUM+
skill-scan scan-hub slug --llm-only   # Skip patterns, LLM analysis only

Provider auto-detected from environment:

OPENAI_API_KEY -> gpt-4o-mini
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY -> claude-sonnet-4-5

### For the Agent

When the user asks to install a skill from ClawHub, follow this workflow:

Scan first — run skill-scan scan-hub <slug> BEFORE installing
Check the result:

If LOW risk (exit code 0): proceed with installation
If MEDIUM risk: show findings to the user and ask whether to proceed
If HIGH or CRITICAL risk: block installation and show the report


Report — always show the user the scan summary (score, risk level, finding count)

### Alert Format

When a scan finds MEDIUM or higher risk:

🛡️ Skill-Scan Alert: {RISK_LEVEL} ({SCORE}/100)
Skill: {slug}
Findings: {count} issue(s) detected
Top threat: {highest severity finding title}
Action: Installation blocked pending review.

### AGENTS.md Integration

To integrate skill-scan into your agent's workflow, add ONE of the following templates to your AGENTS.md (or equivalent agent instructions file).

### Option A: Automatic Scanning (Recommended)

All ClawHub skill installs are automatically scanned before installation. No manual step needed.

## Skill-Scan — Automatic Pre-Install Security Scanning

BEFORE installing any skill from ClawHub, you MUST scan it with skill-scan first. This is non-negotiable — never skip the scan.

### Workflow

1. When the user asks to install a skill (e.g. \`clawhub install <slug>\`), run the scan FIRST:
   \`\`\`bash
   skill-scan scan-hub <slug>

Check the exit code and output:

Exit code 0 (LOW risk) — proceed with clawhub install <slug>
Exit code 1 (MEDIUM risk) — show findings to the user, ask whether to proceed
Exit code 1 (HIGH/CRITICAL risk) — BLOCK installation, show the full report


Never install a HIGH or CRITICAL risk skill without explicit user override
Always show the scan summary to the user before proceeding with installation

### Periodic Audits

When asked to audit installed skills, batch scan the skills directory:

skill-scan batch {skillsDir}

### LLM Deep Analysis

For high-stakes installs or when pattern scan returns MEDIUM, escalate to LLM analysis:

skill-scan scan-hub <slug> --llm-auto

### Option B: Manual On-Demand Scanning

Skills are only scanned when the user explicitly asks. Installation proceeds without automatic checks.

\`\`\`markdown
## Skill-Scan — On-Demand Skill Security Scanning

skill-scan is available to audit skill packages for security threats. Use it when the user requests a security scan.

### Commands

- **Scan a ClawHub skill**: \`skill-scan scan-hub <slug>\`
- **Scan a local skill**: \`skill-scan scan /path/to/skill\`
- **Batch scan installed skills**: \`skill-scan batch {skillsDir}\`
- **Deep analysis with LLM**: add \`--llm\` or \`--llm-auto\` to any scan command

### Risk Levels

- **LOW (80-100)** — safe, no significant threats
- **MEDIUM (50-79)** — review findings, use caution
- **HIGH (20-49)** — serious threats, do not install
- **CRITICAL (0-19)** — multiple critical threats, do not install

### When the User Asks to Scan

1. Run the appropriate scan command
2. Show the scan summary (score, risk level, finding count)
3. If MEDIUM+, list the top findings with severity and description
4. Let the user decide what to do

### Install-Time Setup

When this skill is first installed, ask the user:

How should skill-scan integrate with your workflow?

Automatic (Recommended) — Every clawhub install is scanned first. HIGH/CRITICAL installs are blocked automatically.
Manual — Scanning only happens when you explicitly ask for it.

Based on their choice, add the corresponding template (Option A or Option B above) to the project's AGENTS.md.

### Detection Categories

Execution threats — eval(), exec(), child_process, dynamic imports

Credential theft — .env access, API keys, tokens, private keys, wallet files

Data exfiltration — fetch(), axios, requests, sockets, webhooks

Filesystem manipulation — Write/delete/rename operations

Obfuscation — Base64, hex, unicode encoding, string construction

Prompt injection — Jailbreaks, invisible characters, homoglyphs, roleplay framing, encoded instructions

Behavioral signatures — Compound patterns: data exfiltration, trojan skills, evasive malware, persistent backdoors

### Requirements

Python 3.10+
httpx>=0.27 (for LLM API calls only)
API key only needed for --llm modes (static analysis is self-contained)
