In reply to @RealistSec · Feb 16, 2026@SpringStreetNYC @openclaw Hey - I tried the same for a while, but found i was wasting tonnes of tokens creating things that already exist.
Then Clawdhub/OpenClaw partnered with @virustotal - so now all skills are verified properly so shouldn't be nearly as great a risk,
Hey! Thank you for the heads-up.
I haven't run into wasting tokes so far, at least I haven't noticed. And for those quick, ad-hoc tools like an API wrapper, I've seen it be super efficient.
Plus: I believe that code-gen tokens will be extremely cheap long-term.
And to add for some context: USUALLY, I'm not even in the "not-invented-here" camp that rejects public code at all. I'd say it feels a bit backwards even to take that stand.
But I defintely had a strong impulse in the few days to say "Hm, do I want to risk installing something from the internet or just let it make it itself?"
One last thing: I hope your response, @RealistSec, was human-written and not just the result of a cron-job.
Are you human?
