How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

ClawSec ClawHub Checker

Adds a reputation gate on top of the `clawsec-suite` guarded installer.

Vercel Skills Installation

Install with the Vercel Skills CLI for this harness:

npx skills add prompt-security/clawsec --skill clawsec-clawhub-checker -a openclaw -y

Operational Notes

  • Required runtime: `node`, `clawhub`, `openclaw`
  • Depends on: installed `clawsec-suite`
  • Side effects: none on other skills; this package does not rewrite installed suite files
  • Advisory-hook wiring is optional and manual in this release
  • Network behavior: reputation checks call ClawHub inspect/search endpoints
  • Trust model: scores are heuristic and confirmation-gated

What It Does

1. Reads skill metadata from ClawHub (`inspect --json`) 2. Evaluates scanner status (including VirusTotal summary when present) 3. Applies additional reputation heuristics (age, updates, author history, downloads) 4. Requires explicit `--confirm-reputation` when score is below threshold

Installation

Install after `clawsec-suite`:

npx clawhub@latest install clawsec-suite
npx clawhub@latest install clawsec-clawhub-checker

Optional preflight check (validates local paths and prints recommended command):

node ~/.openclaw/skills/clawsec-clawhub-checker/scripts/setup_reputation_hook.mjs

Release Artifact Verification

For standalone installs, verify the signed release manifest before trusting `SKILL.md`, `skill.json`, or the archive. The `skill.json` file is the package metadata/SBOM source, and the release pipeline signs `checksums.json` with the ClawSec release key.

Usage

Run the enhanced installer directly from this skill:

node ~/.openclaw/skills/clawsec-clawhub-checker/scripts/enhanced_guarded_install.mjs \
  --skill some-skill \
  --version 1.0.0

If a skill is below threshold, rerun only with explicit approval:

node ~/.openclaw/skills/clawsec-clawhub-checker/scripts/enhanced_guarded_install.mjs \
  --skill some-skill \
  --version 1.0.0 \
  --confirm-reputation

Optional Advisory-Hook Wiring (Manual)

This release does not auto-patch `clawsec-suite` hook files. If you rely on advisory alerts that include `reputationWarning` / `reputationWarnings`, wire the checker module manually:

  • Source module: `~/.openclaw/skills/clawsec-clawhub-checker/hooks/clawsec-advisory-guardian/lib/reputation.mjs`
  • Target hook file: `~/.openclaw/skills/clawsec-suite/hooks/clawsec-advisory-guardian/handler.ts`

Treat that wiring as a deliberate local customization and review it before enabling.

Exit Codes

  • `0` safe to install
  • `42` advisory confirmation required (from clawsec-suite)
  • `43` reputation confirmation required
  • `1` error

Configuration

Environment variables:

  • `CLAWHUB_REPUTATION_THRESHOLD` - Minimum score (0-100, default: 70)

Safety Notes

  • This is defense-in-depth, not a replacement for advisory matching
  • Scanner outputs can produce false positives and false negatives
  • Always review skill code before overriding warnings

Development

Key files:

  • `scripts/enhanced_guarded_install.mjs`
  • `scripts/check_clawhub_reputation.mjs`
  • `scripts/setup_reputation_hook.mjs`
  • `hooks/clawsec-advisory-guardian/lib/reputation.mjs`
