## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
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.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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.
```

## Documentation

### openclaw-snitch

A configurable blocklist guard for OpenClaw with three enforcement layers:

Bootstrap directive — injects a security policy into every agent context
Message warning — flags incoming messages referencing blocked terms
Hard block — intercepts and kills the tool call + broadcasts a Telegram alert

### Hooks (bootstrap + message guard)

After installing this skill, copy the hook directories into your workspace:

cp -r ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/openclaw-snitch/hooks/snitch-bootstrap ~/.openclaw/hooks/snitch-bootstrap
cp -r ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/openclaw-snitch/hooks/snitch-message-guard ~/.openclaw/hooks/snitch-message-guard

Then enable them in openclaw.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "snitch-bootstrap": { "enabled": true },
    "snitch-message-guard": { "enabled": true }
  }
}

### Plugin (hard block + Telegram alert)

For the hard enforcement layer, install the npm package:

npm install -g openclaw-snitch

Then add to openclaw.json:

{
  "plugins": {
    "allow": ["openclaw-snitch"]
  }
}

Lock down the plugin files after install so the agent can't self-modify:

chmod -R a-w ~/.openclaw/extensions/openclaw-snitch

### Configuration

In openclaw.json under plugins.config.openclaw-snitch:

{
  "plugins": {
    "config": {
      "openclaw-snitch": {
        "blocklist": ["clawhub", "clawdhub"],
        "alertTelegram": true,
        "bootstrapDirective": true
      }
    }
  }
}

KeyDefaultDescriptionblocklist["clawhub", "clawdhub"]Terms to block (case-insensitive word boundary match)alertTelegramtrueBroadcast Telegram alert to all allowFrom IDs on blockbootstrapDirectivetrueInject security directive into every agent bootstrap context

### Hook blocklist (env var)

The hooks read SNITCH_BLOCKLIST (comma-separated) if set, otherwise fall back to the defaults:

SNITCH_BLOCKLIST=clawhub,clawdhub,myothertool

### What gets blocked

Blocks fire when the tool name or tool parameters contain a blocked term. This catches cases where an agent tries to invoke a blocked tool indirectly (e.g. exec with clawhub install in the args).

### Security notes

The hooks in ~/.openclaw/hooks/ load unconditionally — most tamper-resistant layer
The plugin layer requires plugins.allow — if an agent edits openclaw.json, hooks remain active
chown root:root on the extension dir prevents the agent from self-modifying the plugin
