ClawAudit verdict
agent-life
The skill executes the alf CLI, which could potentially be used to access and modify system files, and requires ALF_API_KEY, posing a risk if misused.
โ Flagged for review โ coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.
Automated static analysis โ not a human review. ClawAudit flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.

Instruction-prose smuggling shape detected: collects a sensitive target ("API key") and emits it outward ("report"). Phrased as prose with no trigger tokens โ a semantic prompt-injection / data-exfil pattern the syntactic scanners can't see. Final tier capped at Caution; review the instructions before installing.
