Skill Auditor Pro

What This Skill Does

Skill Auditor Pro, developed by sypsyp97, serves as the primary security layer for the OpenClaw ecosystem. It functions as a specialized, multi-stage static and dynamic analysis tool designed to inspect third-party ClawHub skills before they are executed. By employing a sophisticated three-layer detection pipeline, the tool protects your workspace from malicious code, obfuscated payloads, and deceptive social engineering tactics. The first layer utilizes pattern matching to flag high-risk operations such as arbitrary code execution, unauthorized remote script downloads, and unauthorized access to sensitive directory structures like ~/.openclaw/. The second layer is a dedicated deobfuscation engine that handles Base64, Hex, and other encoding schemes commonly used to mask malicious intent. Finally, the optional third layer leverages LLM-driven semantic analysis to identify novel threats that evade traditional signature-based detection.

Installation

To integrate Skill Auditor Pro into your OpenClaw environment, use the following installation command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/sypsyp97/skill-auditor-pro. Once installed, ensure you have the necessary system dependencies if you intend to use the advanced L3 LLM analysis, such as the Gemini CLI. The audit scripts are located in ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/skill-auditor/scripts/.

Use Cases

This skill is essential for users who frequently install third-party automation components. Use it to vet new skills from community repositories, audit locally developed scripts before deployment, or perform security health checks on existing automation pipelines. It acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring that your environment remains secure from credential exfiltration and unauthorized system modifications.

Example Prompts

1. "Audit the skill 'discord-notifier-v2' before I decide to install it."
2. "Check the security of my local folder /scripts/experimental-plugin for any malicious code."
3. "Please run a full security scan on the latest clawhub skill named 'system-cleaner'."

Tips & Limitations

Always use the recommended clawhub inspect <skill-name> command before installation to avoid side effects. Remember that while Skill Auditor Pro is highly effective, no security tool is infallible. It is best used as a defense-in-depth measure. The L3 analysis feature requires an active API configuration for the Gemini CLI. Keep your IoC lists and the skill itself updated regularly to ensure coverage against the latest known threat signatures.
