SkillScan v1.1.6
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 → 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.
Commands
| Command | Usage |
|---|---|
scanner.py scan <path> | Scan a single skill (.zip or directory) |
scanner.py scan-all | Scan all installed skills |
scanner.py first-run | First-time full scan |
scanner.py upgrade | Manual upgrade |
Scan Rules
- .zip files → Scan BEFORE installation. Block if fails.
- Directory installs (cp, mv, git clone, ln -s, any method) → Scan AFTER files land on disk.
- Remote installs (clawhub, skillhub, npx skills add, etc.) → Scan immediately after install.
- Unknown skills → If user mentions a skill you haven't seen, scan it.
Exit Codes
