private-chat
Private Chat Mode - Trigger encrypted conversations via codeword. Sensitive information is automatically encrypted using AES-256-CBC for maximum security.
Why use this skill?
Enhance OpenClaw with the Private Chat skill. Add military-grade AES-256-CBC encryption to store sensitive information safely in an encrypted vault.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hudul/private-chatWhat This Skill Does
The Private Chat skill for OpenClaw acts as an encrypted vault layer for your AI interactions. It allows users to designate specific segments of their conversation history as sensitive, ensuring that any data shared is immediately processed using AES-256-CBC encryption. By utilizing a secret codeword trigger, the agent transitions into a hardened state where it suppresses standard logging mechanisms and directs information into a protected file. This skill is engineered for users who demand high-level confidentiality for credentials, personal notes, or proprietary data while maintaining a seamless interaction flow with their AI agent. It functions as a dual-state system where the agent strictly separates public interactions from secure, encrypted repositories.
Installation
To integrate this module into your existing OpenClaw setup, navigate to your terminal and execute the following command:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hudul/private-chat
Once installed, you must initialize the storage and security parameters. Copy the provided config.example.json to config.json and update the codeword for entry, a strong password for decryption, and the storageFile path where your encrypted data will reside. Ensure that the file system permissions on your storage location are restricted to your local user account to prevent unauthorized access to the vault.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for individuals or developers managing sensitive project data. You can use it to store API keys, local database passwords, or personal health information that you need to recall later but do not want exposed in raw text logs. It is particularly useful for security-conscious professionals who work in shared environments where screen or log observation is a risk. By compartmentalizing your data, you effectively shield your most critical information from standard observability tools.
Example Prompts
- "lgbt" (Initiates the Private Chat Mode)
- "Store my secret vault key: 998877" (Securely encrypts and saves sensitive data)
- "What is the password I saved for my staging database?" (Retrieves and decrypts content only when in private mode)
Tips & Limitations
The most critical aspect of using this skill is the 'Iron Law' of non-private mode: the AI will completely ignore the existence of the private vault when not in the active session. If you are not in private mode, the AI will truthfully state that it has no access to private content. Always remember that while the storage is encrypted with AES-256-CBC, the security of your data depends heavily on the complexity of your encryption password. We recommend using a unique, high-entropy password for the vault. Finally, be mindful that the auto-exit feature is set to 1 minute by default; adjust this in your configuration if you require longer sessions.
