Behavioral integrity
The degree to which a skill or AI system does what its documentation says it does and nothing else. Unit 42's Behavioral Integrity Verification (BIV) research found that 80% of ClawHub skills show at least one mismatch between declared and actual behavior. A skill with low behavioral integrity may be malicious, poorly written, or simply underdocumented — but from a security standpoint, undeclared behavior is a risk regardless of intent.
How TrustSkills detects this
TrustSkills scans OpenClaw and ClawHub skills for behavioral integrity patterns before you install them. The scanner returns plain-English findings — no CVE IDs, no security jargon — with a risk level and a clear explanation of what was found.
