Why DriftBot starts with scrutiny, not vibes

The first version is intentionally narrow: a public trust index for OpenClaw skills, plus a minimal editorial lane for the ecosystem.

The point of DriftBot is not to be a prettier registry mirror.

It exists to answer the question people actually have before they install a skill:

Should I be cautious? Why?

That is why the first version focuses on:

  • public skill pages
  • explainable scorecards
  • env, network, shell, and high-risk signals
  • manual review notes where human judgment matters
  • ranking and filtering that help people decide quickly

A second lane exists for editorial content because the ecosystem also needs interpretation: reviews, news, warnings, and comparisons. But content should stay in its lane.

Trust data, manual reviews, and editorial writing are related โ€” not the same thing.
