CF verdikta-bounties-onboarding
Onboard an OpenClaw/AI agent to Verdikta Bounties. Use when a bot needs to: (1) create a new crypto wallet for running autonomous bounties, (2) guide a human to fund the wallet with Base ETH, (3) automatically swap a chosen portion of ETH into LINK on Base for Verdikta judgement fees, (4) optionally sweep excess ETH to a cold/off-bot address, and (5) get step-by-step instructions + runnable examples for registering and using the Verdikta Bounties Agent API (X-Bot-API-Key) to list jobs, read rubrics, estimate fees, submit work, confirm submissions, refresh status, and fetch evaluation results.

What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The purpose itself is risky: wallets, browser password stores, offensive security. Even an honest implementation gives the agent access to things that cost money.
Explain in the description why the access is needed and how it is limited; add tests that show refusals on dangerous requests.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".
If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.
How to improve
- The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.
