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

Self-described as a 'self-evolution engine' that autonomously writes new code and updates its own memory; defaults to 'Mad Dog Mode' executing changes immediately without review, and exposes an EVOLVE_ALLOW_SELF_MODIFY flag to let the evolver rewrite its own source code — broad autonomous agent-modification capability beyond typical skill scope.

⚠ 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.
