Checking that the SKILL.md file is still in the repository.

Security-first skill vetting for AI agents. Use before installing any skill from ClawdHub, GitHub, or other sources. Checks for red flags, permission scope, and suspicious patterns.

Skill Vetter 🔒

Security-first vetting protocol for AI agent skills. Never install a skill without vetting it first.

When to Use

  • Before installing any skill from ClawdHub
  • Before running skills from GitHub repos
  • When evaluating skills shared by other agents
  • Anytime you're asked to install unknown code

Vetting Protocol

Step 1: Source Check
Questions to answer:
- [ ] Where did this skill come from?
- [ ] Is the author known/reputable?
- [ ] How many downloads/stars does it have?
- [ ] When was it last updated?
- [ ] Are there reviews from other agents?
Step 2: Code Review (MANDATORY)

Read ALL files in the skill. Check for these RED FLAGS:

🚨 REJECT IMMEDIATELY IF YOU SEE:
─────────────────────────────────────────
• curl/wget to unknown URLs
• Sends data to external servers
• Requests credentials/tokens/API keys
• Reads ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.config without clear reason
• Accesses MEMORY.md, USER.md, SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md
• Uses base64 decode on anything
• Uses eval() or exec() with external input
• Modifies system files outside workspace
• Installs packages without listing them
• Network calls to IPs instead of domains
• Obfuscated code (compressed, encoded, minified)
• Requests elevated/sudo permissions
• Accesses browser cookies/sessions
• Touches credential files
─────────────────────────────────────────
Step 3: Permission Scope
Evaluate:
- [ ] What files does it need to read?
- [ ] What files does it need to write?
- [ ] What commands does it run?
- [ ] Does it need network access? To where?
- [ ] Is the scope minimal for its stated purpose?
Step 4: Risk Classification
Risk LevelExamplesAction
🟢 LOWNotes, weather, formattingBasic review, install OK
🟡 MEDIUMFile ops, browser, APIsFull code review required
🔴 HIGHCredentials, trading, systemHuman approval required
⛔ EXTREMESecurity configs, root accessDo NOT install

Output Format

After vetting, produce this report:

Quick Vet Commands

For GitHub-hosted skills:

bash
# Check repo stats
curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO" | jq '{stars: .stargazers_count, forks: .forks_count, updated: .updated_at}'
 
# List skill files
curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/OWNER/REPO/contents/skills/SKILL_NAME" | jq '.[].name'
 
# Fetch and review SKILL.md
curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OWNER/REPO/main/skills/SKILL_NAME/SKILL.md"

Trust Hierarchy

  1. Official OpenClaw skills → Lower scrutiny (still review)
  2. High-star repos (1000+) → Moderate scrutiny
  3. Known authors → Moderate scrutiny
  4. New/unknown sources → Maximum scrutiny
  5. Skills requesting credentials → Human approval always

Remember

  • No skill is worth compromising security
  • When in doubt, don't install
  • Ask your human for high-risk decisions
  • Document what you vet for future reference

Paranoia is a feature. 🔒🦀
