Hi ClawHub team,

I'm requesting a manual review of the SoulFlow skill, which is currently flagged as "Suspicious" due to its elevated permissions.

Why the flag is understandable:
SoulFlow modifies gateway config, creates persistent agents with full tool access, and inherits external credentials. These are powerful capabilities that warrant scrutiny.

Why these permissions are necessary and legitimate:

  1. Gateway modification — Required to register the worker agent (same as openclaw agent add CLI command)
  2. Full tool access — Workflows need real capabilities to be useful:
    • security-audit must read source files
    • bug-fix must edit code
    • deploy-pipeline must run git/SSH commands
  3. authProfiles inheritance — Allows workflows to complete end-to-end automation (git push, cloud deployments) without manual credential re-entry
  4. Persistent worker — Prevents context bleed between workflow steps (each step runs in isolated session)
    Transparency measures taken:

• Explicit metadata declarations (config_files, permissions, credentials: inherit)
• Comprehensive Security & Permissions documentation in SKILL.md (http://skill.md/)
• Trust warnings ("Only install if you trust the author")
• Detailed "What to consider before installing" section
• Open source on GitHub (all code reviewable)
• Zero external dependencies (no supply-chain risk)
Similar legitimate tools:

SoulFlow is architecturally similar to CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) that also require:

• Config access (for authentication)
• Code modification permissions (for automation)
• External credentials (for deployments)
The difference is SoulFlow runs locally on your OpenClaw instance instead of remotely.

Request:

Could a human reviewer assess whether the security warning accurately reflects risk vs. legitimate functionality? The skill does what it says, documents all permissions up front, and is transparent about credential access.

If the flag is appropriate (I understand it might be), could it be downgraded to "Requires Review" instead of "Suspicious"? Or add a note like "High privilege by design — review docs before installing"?

Author accountability:

• GitHub: @0xtommythomas-dev

Open to any feedback or modifications that would address concerns while preserving functionality.

Thanks for maintaining a secure skill ecosystem.
