ClawSkillShield π‘οΈ
Local-first security scanner for OpenClaw/ClawHub skills.
What It Does
- Static analysis for security risks and malware patterns
- Detects:
- Hardcoded secrets (API keys, credentials, private keys)
- Risky imports (
os,subprocess,socket,ctypes) - Dangerous calls (
eval(),exec(),open()) - Obfuscation (base64 blobs, suspicious encoding)
- Hardcoded IPs
- Risk scoring (0β10) + detailed threat reports
- Quarantine high-risk skills automatically
Dual-Use Design
- CLI for humans: Quick safety checks before installing skills
- Agent API: Importable functions for autonomous agents/Moltbots to proactively scan and quarantine risky skills (essential post-ClawHavoc)
Quick Start
CLI (Humans)
pip install -e .
clawskillshield scan-local /path/to/skill
clawskillshield quarantine /path/to/skill
Python API (Agents)
from clawskillshield import scan_local, quarantine
threats = scan_local("/path/to/skill")
if risk_score < 4: # HIGH RISK
quarantine("/path/to/skill")
Zero Dependencies
Pure Python. No network calls. Runs entirely locally.
Why This Matters
ClawHavoc demonstrated how easily malicious skills can slip into the ecosystem. ClawSkillShield provides a trusted, open-source defense layerβaudit the code, run offline, stay safe.

Repository README
Describes modbender/skill-library-mcp as a whole, which may contain artifacts other than this one. Where this artifact had no useful description of its own, its summary was taken from here.
Skill Library MCP
15,000+ ready-to-use skills for AI coding assistants, served on demand via MCP.
An MCP server that provides on-demand skill loading for AI coding assistants. Instead of stuffing your system prompt with every skill you might need, this server indexes 15,000+ skills and serves only the ones relevant to your current task β keeping context windows lean and responses focused.
Documentation
Full documentation is at modbender.in/skill-library-mcp β installation, the tools it exposes, configuration, and examples.
Why?
- 15,000+ skills covering frontend, backend, DevOps, security, testing, databases, AI/ML, automation, and more
- On-demand loading β skills are fetched only when needed, not crammed into every conversation
- IDF-weighted search β finds the right skill even from natural language queries like "help me debug a memory leak"
- Browse by category β 13 categories to discover skills you didn't know existed
- Works with any MCP-compatible tool β Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Claude Desktop, and others
- Claude Code plugin β one-command install with
claude plugin install - Zero config β run with
npx, no setup needed
Quick Start
Claude Code Plugin (Recommended)
Add the marketplace source, then install the plugin:
claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/modbender/skill-library-mcp.git --scope user
claude plugin install skill-library --scope user
The MCP server starts automatically when Claude Code launches. No manual configuration needed.
Claude Code (MCP Server)
claude mcp add skill-library --scope user -- npx -y skill-library-mcp
MCP Server (Other Tools)
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json (location varies by OS):
{
"mcpServers": {
"skill-library": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "skill-library-mcp"]
}
}
}
Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):
{
"mcpServers": {
"skill-library": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "skill-library-mcp"]
}
}
}
Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"skill-library": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "skill-library-mcp"]
}
}
}
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"skill-library": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "skill-library-mcp"]
}
}
}
git clone https://github.com/modbender/skill-library-mcp
cd skill-library-mcp
pnpm install
pnpm build
Then point your MCP config to the built binary:
{
"mcpServers": {
"skill-library": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/skill-library-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}

Skill Format
Skills are directories containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter:
---
name: my-skill
description: What this skill does
---
# My Skill
Skill content here...
Skills can optionally include a resources/ directory with additional .md files that are appended when include_resources: true is set.
Contributing
Contributions are welcome! To add a new skill:
- Create a directory under
data/with your skill name - Add a
SKILL.mdfile with YAML frontmatter (name,description) - Run
pnpm dedupto check for duplicates - Submit a PR
Development
pnpm install # Install dependencies
pnpm test # Run tests
pnpm build # Build to dist/
pnpm dev # Run server locally
pnpm dedup # Check for duplicate skills
pnpm validate-skills # Validate data/ directory structure
pnpm fix-skills # Fix broken skills (dry run by default)
pnpm clean-skills # Remove invalid skill dirs (dry run by default)
make ci # Run test + validate + build

License
Trustgrade A
- passBody integrity
Whether the stored document is plausibly the kind of file the artifact declares, rather than something fetched by mistake.
- passType matchnot applicable to this artifact type
Whether the artifact is really the kind of thing its metadata claims it is.
- passFreshness
How long since the source repository was last pushed to.
- passPrompt injection
Scans the artifact's own text for instructions aimed at your agent rather than at you.
- passLicense
Whether the source repository declares an SPDX license permissive enough to redistribute.
How the grade is calculated
Each check contributes 0 points when it passes, 1 when it warns, and 2 when it fails. The total maps to a letter:
- Aevery check passed
- Bone warning
- Ctwo warnings
- Dprompt injection or body integrity failed, or three warnings
- Fone of those failed, and something else is wrong
These are automated hygiene checks, not a security audit, and not a dependency or vulnerability scan. A grade of A means nothing was flagged β not that the artifact is safe.
