Caveat verdict

universal-skills-manager

88
🟢 Trusted
No high-risk patterns surfaced by the deep scan — automated capability review, not behavioral proof.

Skill manager that discovers and installs AI skills from multiple registries (SkillsMP, SkillHub, ClawHub) with an optional API key — legitimate coordination tool with no evidence of malicious behavior.

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

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