The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 27
If you prefer the terminal, run:
- Very specific: line 40
When user says "audit [skill-name]" or "is [skill-name] safe" or before any clawhub install:
- Distinctive: line 102
Read-only file access in workspace
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Skill Trust Auditor
Audit any ClawHub skill for security risks before installation.
🛠️ Installation
1. Ask OpenClaw (Recommended)
Tell OpenClaw: "Install the skill-trust-auditor skill." The agent will handle the installation and configuration automatically.
2. Manual Installation (CLI)
If you prefer the terminal, run:
clawhub install skill-trust-auditorSetup (first run only)
bash scripts/setup.shAudit a Skill
When user says "audit [skill-name]" or "is [skill-name] safe" or before any clawhub install:
bash scripts/audit.sh [skill-name-or-url]
# Example:
bash scripts/audit.sh steipete/clawhub
bash scripts/audit.sh https://clawhub.ai/someuser/someskillOutput:
{
"skill": "someuser/someskill",
"trust_score": 72,

}Post to user with clear summary:
🛡️ Trust Audit: someuser/someskill
Score: 72/100 — ⚠️ INSTALL WITH CAUTION
🔴 HIGH: curl to unknown domain in scripts/sync.sh:14
🟡 MEDIUM: reads your MEMORY.md
Recommendation: Inspect line 14 of sync.sh before proceeding.
Run: clawhub show someuser/someskill --file scripts/sync.shTrust Score Guide
| Score | Verdict | Action |
| 90-100 | ✅ SAFE | Install freely |
| 70-89 | ⚠️ CAUTION | Review flagged items first |
| 50-69 | 🟠 RISKY | Only if you understand the risks |
| 0-49 | 🔴 DO NOT INSTALL | High probability of malicious intent |
Risk Pattern Reference
HIGH RISK (-30 each):
process.envaccess in scriptscurl/wgetto non-standard domains- Reading
~/.configor~/.openclawdirectly exec()with user-controlled input- Instructions to modify
SOUL.md/AGENTS.md/openclaw.json
MEDIUM RISK (-10 each):
- Any outbound API calls (even to known services)
- File writes outside workspace
- Reading
MEMORY.mdor diary files
LOW RISK (-3 each):
web_fetchto standard domains- Read-only file access in workspace
Auto-Audit Mode
Optionally prepend audit to every install:
# Add to your shell aliases:
alias clawhub-safe='bash ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/skill-trust-auditor/scripts/audit.sh $1 && clawhub install $1'ClawHavoc Pattern Reference
See references/clawhavoc-patterns.md for known malicious patterns from the February 2026 incident. Update this file when new incidents are reported.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
