What This Skill Does

Arc Sentinel is a comprehensive security monitoring and infrastructure health toolkit designed for OpenClaw agents. It serves as a centralized hub for tracking security posture, automating routine maintenance, and auditing potential vulnerabilities across your digital infrastructure. The skill automates complex workflows like SSL certificate tracking, GitHub security audits, and secret scanning, ensuring that your agent maintains a hardened environment.

Installation

To integrate Arc Sentinel into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/arc-claw-bot/arc-sentinel. Once installed, navigate to the skill directory and run cp sentinel.conf.example sentinel.conf to initialize your configuration. You must edit this file to define your specific domains, GitHub user information, and monitoring email addresses. Finally, ensure your credential-tracker.json file is populated with your rotation policies so the agent knows how to alert you when your security tokens or API keys approach their expiration dates.

Use Cases

Arc Sentinel is best utilized by developers and system administrators who require continuous oversight of their digital assets. Primary use cases include:

1. Infrastructure maintenance, where the agent monitors SSL certificates to prevent downtime caused by unexpected expirations.
2. Security compliance, by scanning your codebases for inadvertently pushed API keys or secrets.
3. Lifecycle management, by tracking credential rotation status to ensure compliance with company or industry security policies.
4. GitHub repository health, where the agent monitors for unauthorized or rogue repositories that might pose a security risk.

Example Prompts

1. "Arc Sentinel, please run a full security audit of my current repository and check if any secrets have been exposed in recent commits."
2. "Check the current status of our SSL certificates and let me know if any are set to expire within the next 30 days."
3. "List all credentials currently tracked in the system and highlight which ones are overdue for their mandatory quarterly rotation."

Tips & Limitations

To maximize the utility of Arc Sentinel, ensure that the gh CLI is properly authenticated before running GitHub audits. While the tool is powerful, it relies on correctly configured local files; always verify your sentinel.conf after any major infrastructure changes. Be aware that breach monitoring via HaveIBeenPwned is most accurate when using a valid API key, though a fallback mode is available for basic checks. Use the scripts/full-audit.sh command regularly to maintain a unified report of your environment's health.
