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.

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.
