Install with your agent

Agent handoff

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.

  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

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. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

SkillGuard โ€” Skill Security Scanner

Scan OpenClaw skills for security threats before they compromise your system.

Scan all installed skills

python3 {scripts}/scanner.py

Scan a single skill

python3 {scripts}/scanner.py --skill <skill-name>

Check a skill name for typosquatting

python3 {scripts}/scanner.py --check-name <name>

Scan from ClawHub before installing

python3 {scripts}/scanner.py --fetch-clawhub <skill-name>

Critical Threats

Reverse shells โ€” nc -e, bash -i >& /dev/tcp, ncat, mkfifo Code obfuscation โ€” base64 -d | bash, eval(), exec() with encoded payloads

High Threats

Suspicious URLs โ€” webhook.site, glot.io, ngrok.io, pastebin.com Memory poisoning โ€” Instructions to write to SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, AGENTS.md Malicious prerequisites โ€” Download instructions in docs (the ClawHavoc attack vector)

Medium Threats

Credential access โ€” Patterns accessing .env, API keys, tokens, SSH keys Data exfiltration โ€” Outbound HTTP POST/PUT with sensitive data Hardcoded IPs โ€” Public IPs embedded in code Typosquatting โ€” Skill names similar to popular/known skills (Levenshtein โ‰ค 2) Crypto wallet access โ€” Seed phrases, private keys, wallet patterns

Low Threats

Shell execution โ€” subprocess, os.system, child_process (common but worth noting)

Risk Levels

๐Ÿ”ด CRITICAL (โ‰ฅ50) โ€” Do NOT install. Likely malicious. ๐ŸŸ  HIGH (25-49) โ€” Review manually before installing. Multiple suspicious patterns. ๐ŸŸก MEDIUM (10-24) โ€” Some flags, likely false positives but worth checking. ๐ŸŸข LOW (1-9) โ€” Minor flags, generally safe. โœ… CLEAN (0) โ€” No issues detected.

False Positive Likelihood

Each finding includes a FP estimate (low/medium/high): low โ€” Likely a real threat medium โ€” Could be legitimate, review context high โ€” Probably benign (e.g., security tool referencing attack patterns, search tool using fetch)

Workflow: Before Installing a Skill

Run python3 {scripts}/scanner.py --fetch-clawhub <skill-name> (requires clawhub CLI) Review the report โ€” anything CRITICAL or HIGH with low FP = reject If CLEAN or LOW only โ†’ safe to install If MEDIUM โ†’ skim the flagged files manually

Output

Console summary with emoji risk levels JSON report saved to {baseDir}/../data/scan_results.json (configurable via --json-out)

Context: Why This Matters

As of February 2026, 341 malicious skills were found on ClawHub (Koi Security / ClawHavoc campaign), distributing Atomic Stealer malware via fake prerequisites. OpenClaw has 512 known vulnerabilities (Kaspersky audit). There is no official skill vetting process. SkillGuard fills this gap. See references/threat-landscape.md for detailed background.

Category context

Identity, auth, scanning, governance, audit, and operational guardrails.
