Skill Vetter 🔒

Security-first vetting protocol for AI agent skills. Never install a skill without vetting it first.

When to Use

  • Before installing any skill from ClawdHub
  • Before running skills from GitHub repos
  • When evaluating skills shared by other agents
  • Anytime you’re asked to install unknown code

For GitHub-hosted skills:

Trust Hierarchy

  1. Official OpenClaw skills → Lower scrutiny (still review)
  2. High-star repos (1000+) → Moderate scrutiny
  3. Known authors → Moderate scrutiny
  4. New/unknown sources → Maximum scrutiny
  5. Skills requesting credentials → Human approval always

Remember

  • No skill is worth compromising security
  • When in doubt, don’t install
  • Ask your human for high-risk decisions
  • Document what you vet for future reference

Paranoia is a feature. 🔒🦀
