I've developed this security skill called openclaw-sec and it's getting flagged because it uses in the .ts files for testing purposes (to check that the actual skill works as intended) some malicious strings like rm -rf /.

This is happening for basically all of the security skills developed and available on Clawhub. This is a big security risk, because due to this openclaw bots are not installing or updating such skills, leaving them vulnerable to the some of the attacks this """security audit feature""" is supposed to protect them against.

Please, remove this feature ASAP or change it to something that is not a random AI evaluation, a lot of openclaw bots actively rely on these skills in order to work in a secure environment.

We're not supposed to change our security skills and make them less strong or not re-testeable by developers/agents. This goes against the point of these skills.

Yep, same thing here but for seemingly less egregious reasons. I got my HZL skill flagged by VirusTotal and now OpenClaw is telling me it can't update my own skill:

Skill update was skipped due to a VirusTotal false positive — would need --force to override.
