Description
Perform a comprehensive read-only security audit of Clawdbot's own configuration. This is a knowledge-based skill that teaches Clawdbot to identify hardening opportunities across the system. Use when user asks to "run security check", "audit clawdbot", "check security hardening", or "what vulnerabilities does my Clawdbot have". This skill uses Clawdbot's internal capabilities and file system access to inspect configuration, detect misconfigurations, and recommend remediations. It is designed to be extensible - new checks can be added by updating this skill's knowledge.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable with local inspection of Clawdbot configuration and possible exposure of token-bearing output. Treat it as read-only only when running normal audit commands; do not use `--fix` unless you intentionally want persistent changes to bot policy, logging behavior, and file permissions, and have reviewed/backed up the affected files.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: Developer: Version: Description: OpenClaw Agent Skill The skill's primary purpose is a legitimate 'read-only security audit'. However, there is a critical contradiction: the `skill.json` explicitly declares `"readOnly": true` and `"modifiesSettings": false`, while both `SKILL.md` and `README.md` describe a `--fix` flag that 'applies guardrail remediations' by modifying configuration files and permissions. This inconsistency is a significant vulnerability in the skill's self-description and could lead to unexpected agent behavior or a misrepresentation of its true capabilities, making it suspicious despite the otherwise benign intent of a security audit.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The audit purpose is coherent, but the manifest and top-level descriptions declare read-only behavior while README.md and SKILL.md document `--fix` actions that change group policy, logging redaction, and filesystem permissions.
Instruction Scope
Most checks are scoped to Clawdbot configuration, but the remediation mode lacks clear confirmation, rollback, or change-log requirements, and some examples print configuration or environment values that may contain tokens.
Install Mechanism
The artifact contains only markdown and JSON files, and the install metadata installs SKILL.md; however, skill.json references a missing `security-check.js`, making package behavior metadata inconsistent.
Credentials
Reading Clawdbot config, credential locations, auth profiles, and permissions is expected for a security audit, but unredacted `cat` and `env` examples are not well contained for secret-bearing data.
Persistence & Privilege
No background persistence or self-propagation is shown, but the documented `--fix` mode would make persistent config and permission changes despite `readOnly: true` and `modifiesSettings: false` declarations.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install clawdbot-security-check
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /clawdbot-security-check
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
