SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a security-first, structured protocol to identify dangerous patterns, excessive permissions, and suspicious code in third-party AI skills so that agents and operators avoid installing or running harmful or privacy-invasive components.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Source validation: Check provenance, author reputation, update history, and community signals before trusting a skill.
  • Comprehensive code review checklist: Identify red flags such as external data exfiltration, credential access, eval/exec usage, and network calls to raw IPs.
  • Risk classification & verdicts: Produce a clear risk level (low/medium/high/extreme) and a recommended installation decision for human or automated approval workflows.
  • Use case: Audit a GitHub-hosted skill prior to installation to ensure it does not request tokens, access sensitive files, or execute untrusted network commands.

Quick Start

Run a vetting review of the candidate skill by providing its repository URL and request a structured SKILL VETTING REPORT summarizing red flags, permissions, and a final verdict.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check third-party AI skills for malicious code before installation?▼

To check third-party AI skills for malicious code, review all skill files to identify network calls, file operations, and credential access. This vetting process produces a structured risk classification and a recommended installation verdict to prevent unsafe execution.

What security red flags should I look for during an AI skill vetting review?▼

During an AI skill vetting review, look for red flags such as external data exfiltration, credential access, eval/exec usage, and network calls to raw IPs. Checking the author's reputation and update history also helps identify suspicious code patterns.

Can I audit a skill sourced from GitHub or agent repositories for excessive permissions?▼

Yes, you can audit skills sourced from GitHub, ClawdHub, or shared agent repositories for excessive permissions. The review validates provenance and generates a permissions list alongside a structured risk classification for human or automated approval workflows.

What is the best way to assess the risk level of an untrusted AI agent skill?▼

The best way to assess the risk level of an untrusted AI agent skill is to apply a structured security protocol that classifies danger into low, medium, high, or extreme categories. This yields a clear installation decision for approval workflows.

When do I need a structured risk classification for skill management?▼

You need a structured risk classification for skill management when integrating third-party components into agent environments. It identifies dangerous patterns and privacy-invasive behaviors, providing a recommended installation decision for human or automated approval workflows.
