Security Warning
Not all community skills are safe. Before installing:
Review the source code — check for suspicious network calls
Check permissions — does it need more access than the task requires?
Look for audit badges — some skills have been formally reviewed
Start with popular, well-maintained skills — high star counts and recent updates are good signals
StartClaw's managed environment provides additional sandboxing and isolation to limit the impact of any compromised skill.
