ClawAudit verdict

🟠 Risky
Significant concerns — only install if you understand the risks

Skill sends code search queries and codebase content to an external CodeAlive API service; while this is the stated purpose, it involves transmitting potentially sensitive code to a third-party server.

⚠ Flagged for review — coarse, uncorroborated signal, not a confirmed exploit. Review the config yourself before installing.

Automated static analysis — not a human review. ClawAudit flags capabilities, not confirmed intent, and can produce false positives. Disagree with this verdict? Use Dispute below.
