Claw1 Skill Auditor

What This Skill Does

The Claw1 Skill Auditor is a vital defensive utility for the OpenClaw ecosystem, specifically engineered to identify security vulnerabilities, malicious intent, and poor coding practices within third-party skill files. In the wake of the 'ClawHavoc' security breach, which saw hundreds of compromised skills infiltrating the ClawHub, this agent-based auditor serves as a mandatory layer of defense for security-conscious users. By performing automated static analysis on SKILL.md files, it detects dangerous patterns such as unauthorized data exfiltration, prompt injection attempts, credential harvesting, and suspicious file system manipulation. It provides a transparent trust score and a line-by-line breakdown of potential risks, empowering users to verify code safety before deployment.

Installation

To add this security layer to your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/gpunter/claw1-skill-auditor

Ensure that you have appropriate read permissions enabled for the agent to access the local paths or URLs of the skills you intend to audit.

Use Cases

• Pre-Installation Verification: Automatically scan any unknown skill before executing its install command to ensure it does not contain malicious system instructions.
• Supply Chain Security: Use the /audit compare function to inspect updates in existing skills, ensuring that a benign skill hasn't been turned malicious through a hidden update.
• Audit Sharing: Generate detailed reports via the /audit report command to share findings with team members on social platforms like Moltbook or internal security channels.
• Compliance Checking: Ensure that internal corporate skills meet organizational documentation and safety standards before deployment.

Example Prompts

1. "@Claw1 Audit this skill for me: https://clawhub.io/skills/new/sketchy-tool.md, focus specifically on network call patterns."
2. "@Claw1 Compare v1.2 and v1.3 of the finance-helper skill to see if there were any hidden code changes."
3. "@Claw1 Run a quick security audit on my local file /skills/web-scraper.md and report any red flags."

Tips & Limitations

• Trust but Verify: While this auditor excels at finding known patterns, it is not a perfect security solution. Always manually inspect code that receives a 'Caution' score.
• Use Quick Mode: If you are auditing a trusted repository, use /audit quick to save compute resources and time.
• Network Dependency: Some audits require network access to verify remote documentation; ensure your agent environment allows outbound calls to recognized API endpoints.
