clawdbot-self-security-audit

What This Skill Does

The clawdbot-self-security-audit skill is a sophisticated, knowledge-based framework designed to provide Clawdbot with the capability to evaluate its own security configuration. Instead of relying on rigid, static security scanners, this skill empowers the AI to apply first-principles reasoning to identify potential attack surfaces and hardening opportunities. It inspects configuration files, evaluates environmental variables, and checks access control policies against a established trust hierarchy. By systematically walking through 12 security domains—ranging from gateway exposure to DM policy restrictions—Clawdbot can detect common misconfigurations such as insecure gateway binding or overly permissive communication settings. The skill is intentionally extensible, allowing users and developers to add new security checks as the infrastructure grows. It provides actionable remediation advice, helping users secure their agents by following best practices for network exposure, authentication, and user access management.

Installation

To install this audit framework, use the following command in your Clawdbot terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/thesethrose/clawdbot-security-check

Ensure that you have appropriate file system permissions for the skill to read your configuration directory (~/.clawdbot/) and access environmental variables. Once installed, the skill integrates directly into the Clawdbot command interface.

Use Cases

• Post-deployment hardening: Verify that your Clawdbot instance is not exposed to the public internet without proper authentication.
• Compliance checking: Periodically audit group access and DM policies to ensure only authorized users can interact with sensitive agents.
• Troubleshooting security: Use the audit tool to identify why an agent might be receiving unauthorized messages or failing to connect securely.
• Proactive security: Run deep audits before promoting an agent to a production environment to ensure all security domains are properly configured.

Example Prompts

1. "Run a security check on my Clawdbot configuration and tell me if any ports are exposed."
2. "Audit my current settings. I want to make sure only my trusted users can DM me."
3. "What vulnerabilities does my Clawdbot have, and how do I fix them?"

Tips & Limitations

• Always run the --deep flag when auditing production environments to ensure every configuration file is thoroughly inspected.
• This skill performs a read-only audit. While it provides remediation commands, it does not apply them automatically without your explicit instruction via the --fix command.
• Security is a dynamic process; ensure you keep this skill updated to receive the latest security definitions and check patterns from the repository.
