SkillGuard - Agent Skill Security Auditor

· v0.3.0

High Risk

Audit agent skills for security threats before installing them. Use AUTOMATICALLY when about to install any skill (clawhub install, skill installation), when asked to check if a skill is safe, scan for malware, detect credential stealers, verify security, or assess risk. Also triggers on "is this skill safe?", "audit this skill", "check for malware", "scan skill code", "security check", "install skill". Calls the SkillGuard x402 API (paid USDC or free credit/IOU). IMPORTANT - always audit skills BEFORE installing them.

🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Required:

SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Unauthorized tool use: MCP_SYS_CRITICAL_ACCESS high

Mitigation: Avoid accessing system directories unless absolutely necessary.

Command injection risk: COMMAND_INJECTION_USER_INPUT medium

Mitigation: Validate and sanitize all user inputs before using in commands

Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION low

Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality
