npx clawhub install blast-radius-estimator

What This Skill Does

Estimates how many AI agents would be affected if a widely-adopted skill is compromised. Traces direct adopters, inheritance depth, adoption velocity, and version pinning behavior across an agent ecosystem. Outputs an urgency rating with a worst-case propagation timeline.

Unlike npm audit or pip-audit, it works in agent marketplaces where inheritance is implicit and version pinning is rare, covering a gap that traditional dependency auditing tools do not address.

When to use it

  • Auditing a skill before deploying it across a fleet of agents
  • Prioritizing which third-party skill updates need manual review
  • Identifying agents that auto-update rather than pin to a specific version
  • Assessing supply chain risk before building a new skill on top of another
  • Monitoring high-adoption utility skills for accelerating blast radius

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

INPUT

User asks: Estimate the blast radius for skill 'json-schema-validator'

AGENT
  1. 1Looks up direct adopters of the target skill using download counts and citation data
  2. 2Traces inheritance chains to find transitive dependents across intermediate skills
  3. 3Checks version pinning rate across all downstream adopters
  4. 4Calculates adoption velocity and projects worst-case propagation timeline
  5. 5Generates urgency rating and capability composition risk analysis
OUTPUT

A blast radius report showing ~340 direct adopters, ~1,200 transitive dependents, 88% unpinned, HIGH urgency, and a worst-case projection of full propagation within 48 hours
