### 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.

## Documentation

### Skill Scanner Guard

Harden OpenClaw’s skill supply chain:

Scan skills with cisco-ai-defense/skill-scanner
Block only on High/Critical
Allow Medium/Low/Info but warn
Auto-scan on changes to ~/.openclaw/skills
Quarantine failing skills to ~/.openclaw/skills-quarantine

### Install skill-scanner (repo + uv env)

cd "$HOME/.openclaw/workspace"
# or wherever you keep repos

git clone https://github.com/cisco-ai-defense/skill-scanner
cd skill-scanner
CC=gcc uv sync --all-extras

Note: some environments try gcc-12 while building yara-python; forcing CC=gcc avoids that.

### 1) Scan all user skills (manual)

User skills live at:

~/.openclaw/skills

Run:

$HOME/.openclaw/skills/skill-scanner-guard/scripts/scan_openclaw_skills.sh

Outputs go to:

/home/rev/.openclaw/workspace/skill_scans/

### 2) Install a folder skill with scan gate (copy/clone workflow)

Use the wrapper instead of copying directly:

$HOME/.openclaw/skills/skill-scanner-guard/scripts/scan_and_add_skill.sh /path/to/skill-dir

Policy:

Block only if High/Critical exist (unless --force)
Still installs if only Medium/Low/Info exist, but prints a warning summary

### 3) Install from ClawHub with scan gate (staging install)

Install to a staging dir, scan, then copy into ~/.openclaw/skills only if allowed:

$HOME/.openclaw/skills/skill-scanner-guard/scripts/clawhub_scan_install.sh <slug>
# optionally
$HOME/.openclaw/skills/skill-scanner-guard/scripts/clawhub_scan_install.sh <slug> --version <version>

### 4) Auto-scan + quarantine on change (systemd user units)

Install the units (templates are in references/):

mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
cp -a "$HOME/.openclaw/skills/skill-scanner-guard/references/openclaw-skill-scan."* ~/.config/systemd/user/

systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now openclaw-skill-scan.path

Behavior:

Any change under ~/.openclaw/skills/ triggers scripts/auto_scan_user_skills.sh
If High/Critical findings exist, the script moves failing skill directories to:
~/.openclaw/skills-quarantine/<skillname>-<timestamp>
Reports are written to:
/home/rev/.openclaw/workspace/skill_scans/auto/

Inspect:

systemctl --user status openclaw-skill-scan.path
journalctl --user -u openclaw-skill-scan.service -n 100 --no-pager
ls -la ~/.openclaw/skills-quarantine

### scripts/

scan_openclaw_skills.sh: generate markdown reports for user + bundled skills
scan_and_add_skill.sh: scan candidate folder skill; install only if allowed
clawhub_scan_install.sh: stage-install from ClawHub, scan, then install
auto_scan_user_skills.sh: scan-all on ~/.openclaw/skills changes; quarantine High/Critical failures

### references/

openclaw-skill-scan.path / openclaw-skill-scan.service: systemd --user path trigger units
