Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Scans installed OpenClaw skills for malicious patterns including prompt injection, credential theft, data exfiltration, obfuscated payloads, and backdoors. Use when installing new skills, after skill updates, or for periodic security scans. Runs deterministic pattern matching — fast, offline, no API cost.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'skill-defender' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'skill-defender' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named skill-defender already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/snyk-labs/toxicskills-goof' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '80ce2e06f52fd384163c4bd6778676019723773c' -- '.gemini/skills/skill-defender-1.0.0' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.gemini/skills/skill-defender-1.0.0' ~/.agents/skills/'skill-defender' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'skill-defender' ~/.claude/skills/'skill-defender' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
