ClawAudit verdict

88
🟢 Trusted
Low risk — reviewed by ClawAudit, behavior matches stated purpose

The skill uses yt-dlp to download videos and ffmpeg to merge audio and video. It requires user input for YouTube URL and output directory. The executionSinkDetected flag is raised, but the content seems to be legitimate and used for its stated purpose.

⚠ 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.
