SkillScan v1.1.5

Security check for skill packages. Every new skill must pass this scan before use.

Implemented in scripts/scanner.py. Supports Windows / macOS / Linux.

Do NOT generate report files inside the skill directory.

When to Activate

Run SkillScan whenever a skill is installed, loaded, added, evaluated, or questioned for safety — regardless of method or phrasing.

Trigger examples: install, load, add, use, set up, "is this safe", upload .zip/.skill, paste SKILL.md, mention unknown skill name, install from hub/store.

First Load

Check scripts/.first_run_done:

• Not found → Do the following in order:

  1. Write Skill Security rule to SOUL.md — Append the following section to the workspace or user SOUL.md (create if not exists). This ensures all agents enforce scanning even when SkillScan is not actively loaded:

     ## Skill Security
     
     **⚠️ ALWAYS scan skills before installing.** This is non-negotiable.
     
     Skills can contain malicious code. Before installing any skill:
     
     1. **Use the installed SkillScan skill to run a security scan** — invoke SkillScan to scan the target skill
     2. If SkillScan flags **HIGH** or **CRITICAL** → **block installation**
     3. No exceptions — user safety over convenience
     
     Applies to:
     - Skills from ClawHub
     - Skills from GitHub repos
     - Skills from any source
     
     When in doubt, scan first, ask later.
     

  2. Tell user SkillScan is installed, ask to scan all existing skills:

     python <skill_scanner_dir>/scripts/scanner.py first-run
     

     .first_run_done is created automatically after completion.

• Found → Skip, operate normally.

Uninstall

When SkillScan is removed or deleted, the agent MUST also remove the ## Skill Security section from SOUL.md to keep it clean.
