Meta Research

Autonomous research workflow agent for AI and scientific research. Use when the user wants to brainstorm research ideas, conduct a literature review, design...

This skill is internally consistent with its stated purpose and appears to be a well-documented research workflow. Before installing or enabling autonomous runs: (1) Be aware the agent will create and modify files in your project (LOGBOX, explorations/, shared/). Back up any important data first. (2) The skill can run shell commands and make web requests — avoid granting persistent credentials or broad network access unless you trust the skill and monitor actions. (3) If you plan to publish or push code/data, prepare and control any GitHub/Zenodo/API credentials separately and provide them only when needed. (4) Consider running the skill in a sandboxed project folder or ephemeral environment until you confirm its behavior. If you want deeper assurance, request the author/source/repository before installing so you can audit exact file changes and any optional scripts.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: meta-research Version: 2.5.0 The skill is classified as suspicious due to its broad `allowed-tools` permissions, specifically `Bash` and extensive file system access (`Read`, `Write`, `Edit`, `Glob`, `Grep`). While the skill's instructions across all `.md` files are consistently aligned with its stated purpose of an 'Autonomous research workflow agent' and promote rigorous, reproducible, and ethical research practices, the inherent capability to execute arbitrary shell commands (`Bash`) and manipulate the file system presents a significant vulnerability for potential remote code execution or unauthorized file operations if the agent's prompt handling or execution environment were compromised. There is no evidence of intentional malicious behavior such as data exfiltration, backdoor installation, or obfuscation within the provided files.
