Usage Guidance
Reasonable to install if you want a local OpenClaw skill auditing tool. Do not manually execute files under tests/, review the built-in allowlist before relying on results, and treat the scanner as advisory rather than a final security guarantee.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: yoder-skill-auditor Version: 3.1.0 This skill bundle is a security scanner designed to detect malicious patterns in other OpenClaw skills. It contains a comprehensive set of checks for credential harvesting, data exfiltration, obfuscation, prompt injection, privilege escalation, and more. The presence of malicious code patterns in the `tests/` directory is intentional, serving as test fixtures to validate the scanner's detection capabilities, and these are explicitly documented as such in `TEST-FIXTURES-WARNING.md` and excluded from the published package via `.clawignore`. The `audit.sh` script includes a `PATTERN_DEF_FILTER` to prevent self-flagging of its own detection logic. There is no evidence that the scanner itself performs any malicious actions, exfiltrates data, or attempts prompt injection against the agent running it. All functionalities are aligned with its stated purpose as a security auditing tool.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The main capability is scanning OpenClaw skill directories for risky patterns, generating trust scores, reports, diffs, and benchmarks; shell, Python, local file reads, and optional ClawHub downloads fit that purpose.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are user-directed and scanner-focused, but the skill makes strong claims such as definitive scanning and zero false positives that users should not treat as a guarantee.
Install Mechanism
The inspector downloads a skill to a temporary directory and does not auto-install it. The artifact includes tests despite documentation saying they are excluded by .clawignore, so users should treat the bundled tests as development fixtures only.
Credentials
The declared requirements are limited to bash and python3. Broad filesystem reads occur only when the user points the scanner at a directory or runs batch/report workflows over installed skills.
Persistence & Privilege
No automatic privilege escalation or background persistence was found. The trust-score trend mode writes a local trust_trends.json file, and report generation writes a markdown report to /tmp or a user-specified path.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install yoder-skill-auditor
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /yoder-skill-auditor
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
