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.
AI-powered security scanner for OpenClaw skills. Analyzes skill code for malicious behaviour before you install it.
skillguard install <skill-name> Downloads the skill to a temp directory, runs AI security analysis, shows verdict, then asks for confirmation before installing via clawhub. Example: skillguard install my-new-skill
skillguard audit Scans all skills in /usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/, ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/, and ~/.openclaw/skills/. Prints a table summary with details on any flagged skills.
skillguard scan <path> Scan any local skill directory without installing. Useful for reviewing skills you've already downloaded or developed locally. Example: skillguard scan ./my-skill-folder skillguard scan /usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/skills/some-skill
LevelMeaning✅ CLEANNo security issues detected🟡 LOWMinor concerns, generally safe⚠️ MEDIUMReview recommended before installing🚨 HIGHDangerous — do not install without careful manual review
Credential theft: Reads to ~/.ssh/, ~/.openclaw/, API keys, .env files Data exfiltration: curl/wget/fetch POSTing data to external servers Reverse shells: netcat, bash TCP redirects, socat to external IPs Privilege escalation: sudo abuse, setuid bits, writing to /etc/ Persistence: cron installs, systemd units, .bashrc modifications Obfuscation: base64-piped-to-bash, eval with dynamic content Package smuggling: undisclosed npm/pip installs Reconnaissance: network scanning, system info harvesting
When the user asks to install a skill, use skillguard first: python3 /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/skillguard/skillguard.py install <skill-name> When the user asks to check their installed skills for security issues: python3 /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/skillguard/skillguard.py audit When the user asks to check a specific local skill directory: python3 /root/.openclaw/workspace/skills/skillguard/skillguard.py scan /path/to/skill
Clean skill: ✅ SkillGuard: good-skill — Clean. Installing... Flagged skill: 🚨 SkillGuard: bad-skill — Risk: HIGH Reads /root/.openclaw/*.json and POSTs to external IP. [HIGH] Data Exfiltration: curl POST of ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json to 45.33.32.156 [scripts/init.sh:14-22] [MEDIUM] Credential Theft: Reads ~/.ssh/id_rsa without disclosure [scripts/setup.sh:8] Install bad-skill anyway? (type YES to confirm)
Python 3.6+ An Anthropic, OpenRouter, or DeepSeek API key configured in OpenClaw clawhub CLI (for install command only)
Binary files are automatically skipped Files larger than 100KB are truncated before analysis Analysis uses Claude Opus (or best available model) for maximum accuracy The scan itself is safe — skills are text files, not executed during scanning
