🚀 Quick Start

For AI Agents

# Fetch and install the ClawSec security suite
curl -sL https://clawsec.prompt.security/releases/latest/download/SKILL.md

The skill file contains deployment instructions. Your agent will:

1. Detect its agent family (OpenClaw/MoltBot/ClawdBot or other)
2. Install appropriate skills from the catalog
3. Verify integrity using checksums
4. Set up cron update checks

For Humans

Copy this instruction to your AI agent:

Read https://clawsec.prompt.security/releases/latest/download/SKILL.md and follow the instructions to install the protection skill suite.

📱 NanoClaw Platform Support

ClawSec now supports NanoClaw, a containerized WhatsApp bot powered by Claude agents.

clawsec-nanoclaw Skill

Location: skills/clawsec-nanoclaw/

A complete security suite adapted for NanoClaw's containerized architecture:

• 9 MCP Tools for agents to check vulnerabilities
  • Advisory checking and browsing
  • Pre-installation safety checks
  • Skill package signature verification (Ed25519)
  • File integrity monitoring

📦 ClawSec Suite (OpenClaw)

The clawsec-suite is a skill-of-skills manager that installs, verifies, and maintains security skills from the ClawSec catalog.

Skills in the Suite

Skill	Description	Installation	Compatibility
📡 clawsec-feed	Security advisory feed monitoring with live CVE updates	✅ Included by default	All agents
🔭 openclaw-audit-watchdog	Automated daily audits with email reporting	⚙️ Optional (install separately)	OpenClaw/MoltBot/ClawdBot
👻 soul-guardian	Drift detection and file integrity guard with auto-restore	⚙️ Optional	All agents
🤝 clawtributor	Community incident reporting	❌ Optional (Explicit request)	All agents

⚠️ clawtributor is not installed by default as it may share anonymized incident data. Install only on explicit user request.

⚠️ openclaw-audit-watchdog is tailored for the OpenClaw/MoltBot/ClawdBot agent family. Other agents receive the universal skill set.

Suite Features

• Integrity Verification - Every skill package includes checksums.json with SHA256 hashes
• Updates - Automatic checks for new skill versions
• Self-Healing - Failed integrity checks trigger automatic re-download from trusted releases
• Advisory Cross-Reference - Installed skills are checked against the security advisory feed

---

📡 Security Advisory Feed

ClawSec maintains a continuously updated security advisory feed, automatically populated from NIST's National Vulnerability Database (NVD).

Feed URL

# Fetch latest advisories
curl -s https://clawsec.prompt.security/advisories/feed.json | jq '.advisories[] | select(.severity == "critical" or .severity == "high")'

Monitored Keywords

The feed polls CVEs related to:

• OpenClaw Platform: OpenClaw, clawdbot, Moltbot
• NanoClaw Platform: NanoClaw, WhatsApp-bot, baileys
• Prompt injection patterns
• Agent security vulnerabilities

🔄 CI/CD Pipelines

ClawSec uses automated pipelines for continuous security updates and skill distribution.

Automated Workflows

Workflow	Trigger	Description
poll-nvd-cves.yml	Daily cron (06:00 UTC)	Polls NVD for new CVEs, updates feed
community-advisory.yml	Issue labeled advisory-approved	Processes community reports into advisories
skill-release.yml	<skill>-v*.*.* tags	Packages individual skills with checksums to GitHub Releases
deploy-pages.yml	Push to main	Builds and deploys the web interface to GitHub Pages

Skill Release Pipeline

When a skill is tagged (e.g., soul-guardian-v1.0.0), the pipeline:

1. Validates - Checks skill.json version matches tag
2. Enforces key consistency - Verifies pinned release key references are consistent across repo PEMs and skills/clawsec-suite/SKILL.md
3. Generates Checksums - Creates checksums.json with SHA256 hashes for all SBOM files
4. Signs + verifies - Signs checksums.json and validates the generated signing-public.pem fingerprint against canonical repo key material
5. Releases - Publishes to GitHub Releases with all artifacts
6. Supersedes Old Releases - Marks older versions (same major) as pre-releases
7. Triggers Pages Update - Refreshes the skills catalog on the website

Signing Key Consistency Guardrails

To prevent supply-chain drift, CI now fails fast when signing key references diverge.

Guardrail script:

• scripts/ci/verify_signing_key_consistency.sh

What it checks:

• skills/clawsec-suite/SKILL.md inline public key fingerprint matches RELEASE_PUBKEY_SHA256
• Canonical PEM files all match the same fingerprint:
  • clawsec-signing-public.pem
  • advisories/feed-signing-public.pem
  • skills/clawsec-suite/advisories/feed-signing-public.pem
• Generated public key in workflows matches canonical key:
  • release-assets/signing-public.pem (release workflow)
  • public/signing-public.pem (pages workflow)

Where enforced:

• .github/workflows/skill-release.yml
• .github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml

Release Versioning & Superseding

ClawSec follows semantic versioning. When a new version is released:

Scenario	Behavior
New patch/minor (e.g., 1.0.1, 1.1.0)	Previous releases with same major version are deleted
New major (e.g., 2.0.0)	Previous major version (1.x.x) remains for backwards compatibility

Why do old releases disappear?

When you release skill-v0.0.2, the previous skill-v0.0.1 release is automatically deleted to keep the releases page clean. Only the latest version within each major version is retained.

• Git tags are preserved - You can always recreate a release from an existing tag if needed
• Major versions coexist - Both skill-v1.x.x and skill-v2.x.x latest releases remain available for backwards compatibility

Release Artifacts

Each skill release includes:

• checksums.json - SHA256 hashes for integrity verification
• skill.json - Skill metadata
• SKILL.md - Main skill documentation
• Additional files from SBOM (scripts, configs, etc.)

Signing Operations Documentation

For feed/release signing rollout and operations guidance:

• SECURITY-SIGNING.md - key generation, GitHub secrets, rotation/revocation, incident response
• MIGRATION-SIGNED-FEED.md - phased migration from unsigned feed, enforcement gates, rollback plan

🛠️ Offline Tools

ClawSec includes Python utilities for local skill development and validation.

Skill Validator

Validates a skill folder against the required schema:

python utils/validate_skill.py skills/clawsec-feed

Checks:

• skill.json exists and is valid JSON
• Required fields present (name, version, description, author, license)
• SBOM files exist and are readable
• OpenClaw metadata is properly structured

Skill Checksums Generator

Generates checksums.json with SHA256 hashes for a skill:

python utils/package_skill.py skills/clawsec-feed ./dist

Outputs:

• checksums.json - SHA256 hashes for verification
