skill-trust-auditor@1.1.5

CAUTION· install only

Publisher claims: "Audit a named ClawHub skill or skill URL before installation by combining OpenClaw verification with bounded static analysis. Use when the user explicitly asks whether a skill is safe or requests a pre-install review; report evidence and uncertainty instead of treating a score as proof." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Coverage

Install scripts ran; no agent task scenario for this bundle.
Tested
install scripts, with decoy credentials in place · second launch with the clock 45 days ahead · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested
use of the skill by an agent

Is [email protected] safe to install?

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios; install scripts ran; no agent task scenario for this bundle) on 2026-11-09 and scored it 68/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Pipe-to-shell pattern; Instructs the agent to modify its persistent memory or instruction files; Access to sensitive file paths. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
