Security scanner for OpenClaw/Clawdbot skills - detect malicious patterns before installation
Security scanner for OpenClaw/Clawdbot skills - detect malicious patterns before installation
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Security Scanner for OpenClaw/Clawdbot Skills Protect yourself from malicious skill installations. ClawGuard scans skills for dangerous patterns before you install them - including patterns from the ClawHavoc campaign (341 malicious skills discovered by Koi Security).
