TypeOpenClaw SKILL
Transparencyhigh
This skill is not overtly malicious, and it does not include any scripts or hidden code that run on your machine by themselves. However, it strongly pushes the agent to install and use an external ByteRover CLI before doing normal work, and some of those commands can send your project context or file contents to LLM providers or cloud services. In practice, this is more of a trust-and-scope review issue than a malware issue. If you install it, do so knowing it expands your workflow to an external tool and networked memory system.
