What This Skill Does

The skill-security-audit is a specialized diagnostic utility designed for OpenClaw agents to perform comprehensive security assessments of installed skill packages. As the ecosystem of AI-driven automation grows, the risk of executing untrusted code or exposing sensitive data increases. This tool acts as a critical guardrail by systematically analyzing your existing skills for vulnerabilities such as arbitrary command execution, unauthorized network access, insecure file system interactions, and potential prompt injection risks. It maps every skill against a standardized security matrix, providing developers and power users with a clear, actionable audit report that classifies risks from 'Info' to 'Critical'.

Installation

To add this security tool to your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal or via the agent interface:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chensu1234/skill-security-audit-v2

Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the directory where your skills are stored so the audit tool can effectively parse the associated manifests and source code.

Use Cases

• Pre-deployment Verification: Scan new skills before enabling them in your production workflow to ensure they adhere to security best practices.
• Regular Security Sweeps: Schedule periodic audits of your entire skill portfolio to identify legacy skills that may contain deprecated or insecure dependencies.
• Collaborative Review: Use the generated audit reports to provide constructive, security-focused feedback to skill developers when their contributions fail safety checks.
• Policy Enforcement: Enforce strict organizational policies regarding file access and network requests by identifying skills that overstep their described boundaries.

Example Prompts

1. "Perform a full security audit on all currently installed skills and summarize any critical risks found."
2. "Review the 'peekaboo' skill for potential data leakage and provide a list of recommended code changes to restrict its file access."
3. "Run a scan on the latest downloaded skills from the community repo and output a compliance report for each one."

Tips & Limitations

• Context is Key: Always provide the full content of SKILL.md and related scripts for the most accurate assessment.
• Manual Oversight: While this tool detects many vulnerabilities, it acts as an assistant. Always manually review 'Critical' warnings before making final decisions.
• Scope: The audit focuses on static analysis of provided files; it cannot predict runtime behaviors that are triggered only by specific, complex external environmental variables.
