Picoclaw Traffic Guardian
This is a baseline specification skill. It intentionally does not ship a proxy or runtime implementation yet.
Scope
Builders should use this skill as the Picoclaw landing zone for runtime traffic monitoring:
- lightweight AI gateway HTTP proxy inspection
- optional HTTPS inspection with per-process CA trust
- outbound exfiltration detection
- inbound injection detection
- redacted local threat logs
- profile export for
picoclaw-security-guardian
Do not add proxy runtime ownership to picoclaw-security-guardian or picoclaw-self-pen-testing. Those skills should profile, drift-check, or review this monitor's status, not run it.
Safety Contract
- Opt-in only.
- Detect-and-log by default.
- No automatic system CA installation.
- No global proxy environment changes.
- No blocking in the first implementation.
- Redact secrets before logs, summaries, or profile outputs.
- Keep all state under
PICOCLAW_TRAFFIC_GUARDIAN_HOMEor$PICOCLAW_HOME/security/clawsec/traffic-guardian.
Builder Entry Points
Read SPEC.md before implementing. Use the placeholder folders as follows:
| Path | Intended use |
|---|---|
lib/ |
Detector rules, redaction, profile export, report formatting |
scripts/ |
Start, stop, status, config validation, log query, profile export helpers |
test/ |
Unit tests, proxy fixture tests, redaction tests, profile integration tests |
Required First Implementation Behavior
- Validate config without starting the proxy.
- Start monitor in foreground or explicit background mode.
- Scope proxy environment variables to the target Picoclaw gateway process.
- Inspect HTTP request/response text up to a bounded byte limit.
- Support optional HTTPS MITM only when the operator supplies per-process trust configuration.
- Emit JSONL findings with redacted snippets.
- Export a small profile fragment that
picoclaw-security-guardiancan include in deterministic posture profiles.
Out of Scope for v0.0.1 Implementation
- automatic system trust-store mutation
- transparent network interception
- default blocking
- sending traffic to external services
- collecting full request/response bodies
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install picoclaw-traffic-guardian - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/picoclaw-traffic-guardian - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
