HOWTO: Protect yourself from OpenClaw skill vulnerabilities:

Skills are powerful — they extend what your AI can do. But with great power comes great "wait, what does this actually do?"

Here's your two-step safety check:
1️) Read the SKILL.md — Every skill has one. It's the blueprint. Open it and see exactly what the skill is instructing the AI to do. Browse to the website.com/SKILL.md file or view it directly on ClawHub.ai yourself.

2️) Not technical? Let AI help you. Copy the entire SKILL.md text, paste it into any AI chatbot, and ask:
— "Does this skill do anything dangerous?"
— "What files or data does it access?"
— "Is this safe to install?"

The AI will translate the technical stuff into plain language and flag anything sketchy.

This is the beauty of open source — the code is RIGHT THERE. You don't need to be a developer to verify it. You just need to know where to look.

Stay safe out there.
