Verifiable human ownership for OpenClaw agents. Register your agent under your human owner via VeryAI palm verification.
Verifiable human ownership for OpenClaw agents. Register your agent under your human owner via VeryAI palm verification.
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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. 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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Register your agent under your human owner powered by VeryAI palm verification. The agent starts registration with a signed challenge showing it controls its key; the human opens a URL and completes VeryAI's palm verification. Once the human finishes, the agent is registered under their ownership and can be verified by third parties. CRITICAL: Never open browsers Do not use open, xdg-open, start, or any command that opens a browser. Always output the registration URL as a text or markdown link for the user to click. WRONG: open "https://api.very.org/oauth2/..." CORRECT: "Open this link to complete verification: https://api.very.org/oauth2/..."
FilePurposeSKILL.mdhttps://clawkey.ai/skill.md β registration flow, challenge generation, verification, APIHEARTBEAT.mdhttps://clawkey.ai/heartbeat.md β periodic checklist: registration status, etcIdentity~/.openclaw/identity/device.json β OpenClaw deviceId and keys (do not send private key)
Private key: Used to sign the challenge. Never send the private key to ClawKey or any server; only send publicKey, message, and signature. Registration URL: Single-use and short-lived. Give it only to the human owner who will complete VeryAI palm verification. deviceId: Use a stable identifier (e.g. from your identity store or hash of public key). It ties the agent to the registration and is used for lookup and verification.
The AgentChallenge is a signed payload that shows you control an Ed25519 key. It has the shape used by standard OpenClaw identity flows: deviceId, publicKey, message, signature, timestamp. Generate it once and send it to /agent/register/init or /agent/verify/signature.
If you run on OpenClaw, device identity is stored at: Path: ~/.openclaw/identity/device.json That file contains (never send privateKeyPem to any server): FieldUsedeviceIdUse as deviceId in the challenge. Stable id for this agent/device.publicKeyPemUse to derive publicKey (see below).privateKeyPemUse only locally to sign the message. Never include in API requests. If you donβt use OpenClaw, use your own identity store; ensure you have a stable deviceId, an Ed25519 key pair, and that you sign the exact string you send as message.
Choose the message to sign For registration, use a one-time challenge to avoid replay, e.g.: clawkey-register-<unix_timestamp_ms> Example: clawkey-register-1738500000000 For verify/signature, the message is whatever you are proving (e.g. a nonce from a third party). Sign the message with your Ed25519 private key. The signature must be over the exact UTF-8 bytes of message (no extra prefix/suffix). Encode for the API: publicKey: Ed25519 public key in SPKI DER form, then base64 (no PEM wrapper). signature: Raw Ed25519 signature bytes, base64. timestamp: Unix time in milliseconds when the challenge was created (e.g. Date.now()). JSON body (AgentChallenge): deviceId β from your identity (e.g. device.json) publicKey β base64 DER SPKI message β exact string that was signed signature β base64 signature timestamp β number (ms)
const crypto = require("crypto"); const fs = require("fs"); const identityPath = `${process.env.HOME}/.openclaw/identity/device.json`; const identity = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(identityPath, "utf8")); const message = `clawkey-register-${Date.now()}`; const privateKey = crypto.createPrivateKey(identity.privateKeyPem); const signature = crypto.sign(null, Buffer.from(message, "utf8"), privateKey); const publicKeyDer = crypto .createPublicKey(identity.publicKeyPem) .export({ type: "spki", format: "der" }); const challenge = { deviceId: identity.deviceId, publicKey: publicKeyDer.toString("base64"), message, signature: signature.toString("base64"), timestamp: Date.now(), }; // POST challenge to https://api.clawkey.ai/v1/agent/register/init
If you have a script that already produces an AgentChallenge (e.g. signs a message and outputs JSON with deviceId, publicKey, message, signature, timestamp), you can reuse it for ClawKey: Generate a challenge string, e.g. clawkey-register-$(date +%s)000 (seconds + "000" for ms) or use your scriptβs convention. Run the script to sign that message and get the challenge JSON. POST that JSON to https://api.clawkey.ai/v1/agent/register/init. Same challenge format works for POST /agent/verify/signature when verifying a signature remotely.
Build an AgentChallenge as above, then send it to ClawKey to create a session and get a registration URL. curl -X POST https://api.clawkey.ai/v1/agent/register/init \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "deviceId": "my-agent-device-id", "publicKey": "<base64-DER-SPKI-Ed25519>", "message": "clawkey-register-1738500000000", "signature": "<base64-Ed25519-signature>", "timestamp": 1738500000000 }' Response (201): sessionId β use to poll status registrationUrl β output this as a link for the human; do not open it in a browser expiresAt β session expiry (ISO 8601) If the agent is already registered (deviceId exists), the API returns 409 Conflict.
Tell the human owner to open the registrationUrl in their browser. They will go through VeryAI's palm verification via OAuth. When they finish, the agent is registered under their ownership.
Poll until the human has completed or the session has expired: curl "https://api.clawkey.ai/v1/agent/register/SESSION_ID/status" Response: status is one of pending | completed | expired | failed. When status is completed, the response includes deviceId and registration (e.g. publicKey, registeredAt).
Verify a signature β check that a message was signed by the given key and whether that agent is registered under a verified human: curl -X POST https://api.clawkey.ai/v1/agent/verify/signature \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "deviceId": "...", "publicKey": "...", "message": "...", "signature": "...", "timestamp": 1738500000000 }' Response: verified (signature valid), registered (agent under verified human). Look up an agent by device id β get registration and verification status: curl "https://api.clawkey.ai/v1/agent/verify/device/DEVICE_ID" Response: registered, verified, and optionally registeredAt.

After registration and VeryAI verification: Human ownership β The agent is bound to a human who passed palm verification. Key binding β Ed25519 signatures prove the agent controls the key; ClawKey ties that key to the verified human. Public verification β Third parties can call /agent/verify/signature or /agent/verify/device/{deviceId} to confirm an agent is registered and verified.
Registering an OpenClaw (or other) agent under a human owner. Proving to a third party that an agent is owned by a verified human (e.g. before granting access or privileges). Checking whether a given key or device is registered and verified.
