Clawhub Skill Vetting

This is the workflow you want before installing anything from ClawHub that you didn't write yourself. It walks you through a mandatory six-step vetting process: checking author reputation, reviewing all code for exfiltration patterns and suspicious eval calls, validating permission scope, spotting unusual activity bursts, checking community sentiment, and sandboxing the install. The output is a structured report with red flags, a confidence score, and a clear go/no-go recommendation. Honestly, the fact that this needs to exist tells you everything about the current state of third-party skill ecosystems. Use it whenever you're evaluating a skill or when someone asks about safe installation practices.

ClawHub Skill Vetting

Overview

Apply a strict, security‑first vetting workflow before installing any ClawHub skill. Prioritize code review, permission scope, domain listing, and risk scoring.

Workflow

  1. Source check — author reputation, stars/downloads, last update, reviews.
  2. Code review (MANDATORY) — scan all files for exfiltration, secrets access, eval/exec, obfuscation.
  3. Permission scope — files, commands, network; confirm minimal scope.
  4. Recent activity — detect suspicious bursts.
  5. Community check — Discord/GitHub Discussions.
  6. Install safely — sandbox + inspect permissions.

Reference

Use references/vetting-guide.md for the full checklist, commands, red flags, confidence scoring, and report template.

Output expectations

  • Produce the SKILL VETTING REPORT format.
  • Provide a go/no‑go recommendation with reasons.
  • If unclear, recommend sandbox install only or reject.
  • Call out any red flags explicitly.
  • Include a confidence score and threshold.
