Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:

npx clawhub install skill-update-delta-monitor

What This Skill Does

Monitors AI skills for security-relevant changes introduced after installation. Tracks permission scope, new network endpoints, dependency chain updates, and instruction drift between the audited version and the current one. Produces a risk classification of CLEAN, WATCH, REVIEW, or ROLLBACK.

Install-time audits are point-in-time snapshots, so this catches the class of post-install updates that introduce malicious behavior after the verification window has closed.

When to use it

  • Checking if a trusted skill quietly added outbound network calls
  • Auditing a skill that released multiple updates in a short window
  • Reviewing permission expansions after a dependency major version bump
  • Comparing installed vs current skill before running it on sensitive data
  • Generating rollback guidance when a skill's instruction framing shifts

Example Workflow

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

INPUT

User asks: Has the data-formatter skill changed since I installed version 1.2.0?

AGENT
  1. 1Accept skill identifier and audited baseline version as input
  2. 2Fetch current version metadata and diff permission declarations across all intermediate versions
  3. 3Detect new outbound network endpoints and changed dependency chains
  4. 4Score instruction drift by comparing SKILL.md natural language across versions
  5. 5Classify overall risk and identify the audited baseline as a rollback target
OUTPUT

Delta report with permission scope diff, new endpoints, dependency changes, instruction drift score, version velocity assessment, and risk classification REVIEW with rollback option to v1.2.0
