Security Notes

All skills listed here have been reviewed for safety:

No curl | sh pipes or obfuscated code
No credential harvesting (env var collection)
No base64 decoding of hidden payloads
No raw IP URL connections

Before installing any skill not listed here, check for these patterns:

# Quick security scan
grep -rn 'curl.*|.*sh\|base64.*decode\|eval(\|exec(' /path/to/skill/ --include="*.md" --include="*.js" --include="*.ts" --include="*.py" --include="*.sh"

Tips

Start with one skill per category. Don't install everything at once.
Taste + UI/UX Pro Max is the most popular combination for general UI work.
Impeccable is the best for design QA and catching anti-patterns.
Skills that are "Part of Anthropic Skills" come from the official Anthropic collection and are the safest option.
Check skill GitHub repos for recent activity — abandoned skills may have outdated patterns.
When skills conflict (different design opinions), the last-installed skill's rules typically take precedence.

Usage Guidance

This skill is a curated list pointing you to many third‑party GitHub repos and some package installs. The main issues: (1) SKILL.md explicitly instructs cloning repositories into ~/.claude/skills and running pip/npm installs, but the skill metadata doesn't declare required binaries or config paths — a mismatch you should treat as suspicious; (2) cloning and installing many external repos can execute unvetted code and introduce supply‑chain risk. Before installing anything: verify the repository owners and read their README and source code; only clone trusted repositories; run installs in a sandbox or VM; ensure you have git/npm/pip and understand what packages will be installed; prefer vendor‑provided packages or official marketplace entries if available. If the publisher can update the skill to declare required binaries (git, npm, pip), list vetted source URLs, and recommend pre‑install verification steps, that would reduce the risk and could change this assessment.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: awesome-design Version: 0.1.1 The bundle is a curated directory of design-related skills for OpenClaw agents, providing descriptions and installation commands (git clone) for various third-party repositories. It contains no executable code, data exfiltration logic, or malicious prompt injections. The content is purely informational, including a security section that provides users with a grep command to audit other skills for common malicious patterns. The links provided point to legitimate-looking GitHub repositories, including official Anthropic skill collections.

Capability Assessment

ℹ Purpose & Capability

The name and description (a directory of design skills) match the SKILL.md content: it lists many design-related skills and recommends installs. However the manifest declares no required binaries/configs while the instructions repeatedly show git clone and package install commands — an inconsistency (see instruction_scope and install_mechanism).

⚠ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains concrete install commands (git clone into ~/.claude/skills, pip/npm install for some items) and allows the Bash tool. The skill metadata, however, lists no required config paths or binaries; the instructions therefore tell the agent to modify a user skill directory and run network installs without declaring those capabilities. The doc also encourages installing many unrelated third‑party repos (broad scope) and does not require or recommend verifying code before installation.

⚠ Install Mechanism

There is no formal install spec — the instructions recommend cloning arbitrary GitHub repos and running pip/npm commands. Cloning and installing code from many third‑party repositories is higher risk than an instruction-only skill that stays local. No provenance or vetting guidance is provided for those repos.

ℹ Credentials

The skill declares no environment variables or primary credential (appropriate for a directory). That said, the instructions implicitly require network access and command-line tools (git, npm, pip), which are not declared. There is no request for secrets, which is good, but the implicit need for CLI tooling should be declared.

⚠ Persistence & Privilege

The instructions target ~/.claude/skills for installations (writing to the agent's skill directory) but the skill metadata does not declare config path requirements. While always:false and model invocation defaults are OK, writing many third‑party skill repos into the user's skill directory increases the blast radius and should be explicit and audited.
