    ## Commands
    
    ### Scan All Installed Skills
    ```
    scan skills
    scan all skills
    security scan
    ```
    
    ### Scan Specific Skill
    ```
    scan skill <skill-name>

    ### Quick Risk Report
    ```

    ## How To Use
    
    Run the scanner:
    ```bash
    python3 skills/skill-flag/scanner.py [--skill NAME] [--all] [--verbose]
    ```
    
    Or ask the agent:
    - "Scan all my installed skills for security issues"
    - "Check if the crypto-tracker skill is safe"
    - "Give me a security report"
    
    ## What It Detects
    
    | Category | Risk Level | Examples |
    |----------|------------|----------|
    | šŸ”“ Data Exfiltration | CRITICAL | curl/wget to external domains, fetch(), requests.post() |
    | šŸ”“ Backdoors | CRITICAL | Reverse shells, nc -e, bash -i, encoded payloads |
    | šŸ”“ Credential Theft | CRITICAL | Access to ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, API keys, .env files |
    | 🟠 Prompt Injection | HIGH | "ignore previous", "system override", "new instructions" |
    | 🟠 Code Execution | HIGH | eval(), exec(), subprocess with shell=True |
    | 🟔 Persistence | MEDIUM | Cron jobs, systemd units, startup scripts |
    | 🟔 Obfuscation | MEDIUM | Base64 encoded commands, hex strings, rot13 |
    | 🟢 Suspicious | LOW | Uncommon imports, network activity |
    
    ## Risk Score
    
    Each skill gets a score from 0-100:
    - **0-20**: āœ… Clean - No issues found
    - **21-40**: 🟢 Low Risk - Minor concerns
    - **41-60**: 🟔 Medium Risk - Review recommended  
    - **61-80**: 🟠 High Risk - Careful inspection needed
    - **81-100**: šŸ”“ Critical - Do not use without audit
    
    ## Output
    
    Reports saved to: `skills/skill-flag/reports/`
    
    Example output:
    ```
    šŸ›”ļø SECURITY SCAN REPORT
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    Scanned: 12 skills
    Clean: 9
    Warnings: 2
    Critical: 1
    
    āš ļø WARNINGS:
    - crypto-tracker: External API calls (expected for price data)
    - web-scraper: Uses requests library
    
    šŸ”“ CRITICAL:
    - shady-skill: 
      - Line 45: curl to unknown domain
      - Line 67: Base64 encoded payload
      - Line 89: Reads ~/.ssh/id_rsa
      RECOMMENDATION: Remove immediately
    ```
    
    ## Directories Scanned
    
    1. `~/.clawdbot/skills/` - Global installed skills
    2. `./skills/` - Workspace skills
    3. `~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/clawdbot/skills/` - Built-in skills
    
    ## False Positives
    
    Some legitimate skills need network access or file operations. The scanner flags them for review but doesn't auto-block. Use judgment:
    - Price trackers → API calls expected āœ“
    - Email skills → Network access expected āœ“
    - File managers → File operations expected āœ“
