What is at stake

Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.

Dangerous commands medium severity

Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.

If you install

The skill contains commands that delete files, rewrite disks or execute code fetched from the network. The agent may run them without asking if it believes the instructions require it.

For the author

Replace destructive commands with safe equivalents that ask for confirmation, scope them to one folder, and stop piping curl into a shell: pin a version and a checksum.

How to improve

  1. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 30Running it twice. 13 mutating operations with no state check

  • 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 100Steps. 17 steps
  • 100Failures and branches. 4 branches, has a failure section
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2156 tokens
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
  • low The response is described with custom markup (3 tags): a typed call is more reliable

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 85.

External checks

ClawHub: suspicious
This backup skill is mostly coherent, but it contains an under-disclosed plaintext escape hatch for sensitive backups despite repeatedly claiming encryption is forced.
