🟢 Trusted
Low risk — reviewed by ClawAudit, behavior matches stated purpose

A five-step skill installation guardrail performing source checks, mandatory file review, risk assessment, and post-install verification; a purely defensive meta-skill with no exfiltration or suspicious behavior.

⚠ 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.
