Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s178f4bnw35dnxc3ymhvgf114983yzer:nerua1-skill-vetter

Setup complexity is LOW. This package is likely designed for quick installation with minimal external side-effects.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

# 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

## Vetting Protocol

### Step 1: Source Check

```
Questions to answer:
- [ ] Where did this skill come from?
- [ ] Is the author known/reputable?
- [ ] How many downloads/stars does it have?
- [ ] When was it last updated?
- [ ] Are there reviews from other agents?
```

### Step 2: Code Review (MANDATORY)

Read ALL files in the skill. Check for these **RED FLAGS**:

```
🚨 REJECT IMMEDIATELY IF YOU SEE:
─────────────────────────────────────────
• curl/wget to unknown URLs
• Sends data to external servers
• Requests credentials/tokens/API keys
• Reads ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.config without clear reason
• Accesses MEMORY.md, USER.md, SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md
• Uses base64 decode on anything
• Uses eval() or exec() with external input
• Modifies system files outside workspace
• Installs packages without listing them
• Network calls to IPs instead of domains
• Obfuscated code (compressed, encoded, minified)
• Requests elevated/sudo permissions
• Accesses browser cookies/sessions
• Touches credential files
─────────────────────────────────────────
```

### Step 3: Permission Scope

```
Evaluate:
- [ ] What files does it need to read?
- [ ] What files does it need to write?
- [ ] What commands does it run?
- [ ] Does it need network access? To where?
- [ ] Is the scope minimal for its stated purpose?
```

### Step 4: Risk Classification

| Risk Level | Examples | Action |
|------------|----------|--------|
| 🟢 LOW | Notes, weather, formatting | Basic review, install OK |
| 🟡 MEDIUM | File ops, browser, APIs | Full code review required |
| 🔴 HIGH | Credentials, trading, system | Human approval required |
| ⛔ EXTREME | Security configs, root access | Do NOT install |

## Output Format

After vetting, produce this report:

```

## Description:

Security-first skill vetting for AI agents. Use before installing any skill from ClawdHub, GitHub, or other sources. Checks for red flags, permission scope, and suspicious patterns.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[nerua1](https://clawhub.ai/user/nerua1)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Developers, engineers, and agent operators use this skill to review AI agent skills before installation, checking source trust, permissions, suspicious patterns, and install risk.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: The skill may prompt an agent to inspect candidate skill files and run GitHub lookup commands while reviewing third-party skills.

Mitigation: Review generated commands before execution, especially when assessing private repositories or sources that may expose sensitive metadata.

Risk: The skill's audit guidance can classify install risk, but it does not replace human approval for high-risk skills.

Mitigation: Require human review before installing skills that request credentials, broad filesystem access, elevated permissions, or access to sensitive files.
