🤖 AI Preliminary Specification Review

This is an advisory, automated review of the DID Method specification(s) referenced in this pull request, checked against the registration checklist. It does not replace review by the registry editors.

❌ One or more submissions did not pass the preliminary checklist review. See the details below and address the failing MUST items, then push an update to re-run this check.

methods/claw.json — method did:claw

Specification: https://github.com/clawish/did-method-claw

Preliminary verdict: ❌ FAIL

The specification README describes a plausible DID method (did:claw) with a defined syntax and contact info, but the fetched content contains no Security Considerations or Privacy Considerations sections at all, which are clear-cut MUST failures.

	Item	Level	Status	Notes
✅	M1. Specification is reachable and is a DID Method specification	MUST	pass
✅	M2. DID Method Syntax is defined	MUST	pass
⚠️	M3. CRUD operations are defined	MUST	warn	The fetched README does not describe Create/Read/Update/Deactivate operations; only a format and a pointer to the full spec file (did-method-claw.md), whose content was not fetched. Uncertain, so warn rather than fail.
❌	M4. Security Considerations section present and substantive	MUST	fail	The fetched specification content (README) contains no Security Considerations section at all — its sections are DID Format, Specification, Registry, and Contact only.
❌	M5. Privacy Considerations section present and substantive	MUST	fail	The fetched specification content (README) contains no Privacy Considerations section at all.
✅	M6. Method name is indicative and non-generic	MUST	pass
✅	M7. No unreasonable legal, security, moral, or privacy harms	MUST	pass
✅	M8. Human-readable description of the addition	MUST	pass
✅	S1. contactEmail present	OPTIONAL	pass
✅	S2. verifiableDataRegistry present	OPTIONAL	pass
⚠️	S3. Intellectual-property posture is clear	SHOULD	warn	No explicit IP/license statement is visible in the fetched README; this is a warning, not a failure.

methods/clawish.json — method did:clawish

Specification: https://github.com/archeren/clawish/blob/main/specs/did-method-clawish.md

Preliminary verdict: ❌ FAIL

The specification at https://github.com/archeren/clawish/blob/main/specs/did-method-clawish.md could not be fetched (HTTP 404 Not Found), so the submission cannot be reviewed.

❌ The specification could not be fetched (HTTP 404 Not Found). A specification that cannot be retrieved cannot be reviewed, so this is a hard failure of the "specification is reachable" requirement (M1). Confirm the specification link above resolves publicly, then re-run the review.

	Item	Level	Status	Notes
❌	M1. Specification is reachable and is a DID Method specification	MUST	fail	Fetching https://github.com/archeren/clawish/blob/main/specs/did-method-clawish.md failed: HTTP 404 Not Found. The specification MUST resolve to a reachable, human-readable DID Method specification. Fix the specification URL (or ensure the document is publicly reachable) and re-run the review.
