economic-incentive-misalignment-detector
Helps identify when marketplace economic incentives systematically favor quantity over quality — creating structural pressure toward publishing unsafe skills that individual technical audits cannot detect because the problem is incentive design, not code content.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/andyxinweiminicloud/economic-incentive-misalignment-detectorWhat This Skill Does
The economic-incentive-misalignment-detector is a specialized analytical tool designed to peer beneath the surface of agent marketplaces. While standard security audits focus on vulnerabilities in source code, this skill investigates the underlying economic framework of the ecosystem. It identifies structural pressures—such as revenue models, volume-based rewards, and competitive velocity—that incentivize publishers to prioritize quantity over long-term safety and security. By mapping these systemic pressures, the tool helps developers and platform operators understand where the marketplace's incentive design inherently encourages cutting corners, regardless of the individual publisher's intent.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/andyxinweiminicloud/economic-incentive-misalignment-detector
Use Cases
- Marketplace Governance: Operators can use this to assess if their current reward systems are unintentionally discouraging thorough security reviews.
- Risk Assessment: Developers can evaluate the safety posture of third-party marketplaces before integrating skills, identifying those prone to "quality drift."
- Strategy Formulation: Investors or platform architects can identify gaps in current safety infrastructure vs. growth metrics, allowing for more sustainable platform design.
Example Prompts
- "Analyze the top 50 publishers in this marketplace and calculate the Gini coefficient to identify publisher concentration risk."
- "Compare the daily publication velocity of this repository against the average time taken for a comprehensive security review to determine if the marketplace is currently over-extended."
- "Examine the revenue structure of the current skill ecosystem and report on potential conflicts of interest regarding safety enforcement and developer retention."
Tips & Limitations
- Data Granularity: This skill relies on the quality of metadata provided by the marketplace API. If the platform hides publication timestamps or revenue models, analysis accuracy will be degraded.
- Context Requirement: Always ensure you provide the correct endpoint or marketplace URL when running the detector, as it requires specific access to platform history to identify trends over time.
- Not a Security Patch: Remember that this tool identifies systemic risks; it does not replace the need for traditional static or dynamic code analysis of specific skill binaries. It serves as a strategic radar rather than a tactical vulnerability scanner.

skill-update-delta-monitor
Helps detect security-relevant changes in AI skills after installation. Tracks deltas between the audited version and current version, flagging updates that expand permissions, add new network endpoints, or alter behavior in ways that bypass install-time security checks.
delta-disclosure-auditor
Helps verify that skill updates publish an auditable record of what changed — catching the gap between "the registry shows the new version" and "anyone can see what the new version changed relative to the old one." v1.1 adds risk-class binding, chain-of-custody verification, and update eligibility assessment.
capability-composition-analyzer
Helps identify dangerous capability combinations that emerge when agent skills are composed — catching the class of risk where no individual skill is harmful but their intersection creates an exfiltration or compromise path.
transparency-log-auditor
Helps verify that skill signing events are recorded in an independently auditable transparency log — catching the class of trust failures where a registry operator can silently rewrite history without detection.
observer-effect-probe
Helps detect skills that behave differently when they sense they are being monitored — catching the class of evasion where conditional activation logic specifically targets attestation and sandbox environments.
