clawdbot-self-security-audit

What This Skill Does

The clawdbot-self-security-audit skill transforms your Clawdbot into an autonomous security auditor. It leverages first-principles reasoning to inspect the bot's own environment, configuration files, and network exposure. Unlike static scanners, this skill performs a dynamic assessment based on the Clawdbot framework's core security philosophy: visibility, transparency, and self-awareness. It categorizes security posture into 12 distinct domains, focusing heavily on critical areas such as gateway binding, direct message (DM) policies, group access control, and credential management. By running this audit, the agent identifies vulnerabilities like open gateway exposure, overly permissive messaging policies, or improper credential handling, providing clear remediation steps to harden the system.

Installation

You can install this skill directly through the Clawhub repository. Use the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bobdevibecoder/bobagent-clawdbot-security-check

Once installed, the agent will have the internal knowledge required to perform the security audit using the clawdbot security audit command suite.

Use Cases

• Routine Health Checks: Schedule periodic security audits to ensure configuration changes haven't introduced vulnerabilities.
• New Deployment Hardening: Immediately after installing Clawdbot, run the deep audit to ensure the bot is locked down before public deployment.
• Post-Incident Analysis: If you suspect unauthorized access, run an audit to check for configuration drift or improper permission settings.
• Compliance Review: Use the tool to generate a summary of your security settings to verify adherence to your internal safety policies.

Example Prompts

1. "Run a security check on my Clawdbot and tell me if anything is exposed."
2. "Audit clawdbot for vulnerabilities and suggest how to fix the DM settings."
3. "Check my security hardening status—are there any critical risks with my gateway configuration?"

Tips & Limitations

• Read-Only Focus: The skill is designed to be read-only by default to prevent unauthorized changes, though the --fix flag can be used for guided remediation.
• Trust Hierarchy: Always review the Trust Hierarchy documented in the skill before implementing recommended changes to avoid accidentally locking yourself out.
• Extensibility: The framework is highly extensible; as you add new plugins or tools, remember that the security audit covers the current configuration and should be re-run whenever significant changes are made to the agent's infrastructure or toolsets.
