ClawSec Suite

Vercel Skills Installation

Install with the Vercel Skills CLI for this harness:

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

Operational Notes

• Required runtime: `node`, `npx`, `openclaw`, `curl`, `jq`, `shasum`, `openssl`, `unzip`
• Side effects: setup scripts install an advisory hook under `~/.openclaw/hooks`, optionally create an unattended `openclaw cron` job, and use `npx clawhub@latest install` for guarded installs
• Network behavior: fetches signed advisory feed artifacts and remote catalog metadata unless you pin local paths
• Trust model: the suite can recommend removal or block risky installs, but removal/install overrides stay approval-gated

This means `clawsec-suite` can:

• monitor the ClawSec advisory feed,
• track which advisories are new since last check,
• cross-reference advisories against locally installed skills,
• recommend removal for malicious-skill advisories and require explicit user approval first,
• and still act as the setup/management entrypoint for other ClawSec protections.

Included vs Optional Protections

Built into clawsec-suite

• Embedded signed advisory trust set: `advisories/feed.json`, `feed.json.sig`, `checksums.json`, `checksums.json.sig`, and `feed-signing-public.pem`
• Portable heartbeat workflow in `HEARTBEAT.md`
• Advisory polling + state tracking + affected-skill checks
• OpenClaw advisory guardian hook package: `hooks/clawsec-advisory-guardian/`
• Setup scripts for hook and optional cron scheduling: `scripts/`
• Guarded installer: `scripts/guarded_skill_install.mjs`
• Dynamic catalog discovery for installable skills: `scripts/discover_skill_catalog.mjs`

Installed separately (dynamic catalog)

`clawsec-suite` does not hard-code add-on skill names in this document.

Discover the current catalog from the authoritative index (`https://clawsec.prompt.security/skills/index.json`) at runtime:

SUITE_DIR="${INSTALL_ROOT:-$HOME/.openclaw/skills}/clawsec-suite"
node "$SUITE_DIR/scripts/discover_skill_catalog.mjs"

Fallback behavior:

• If the remote catalog index is reachable and valid, the suite uses it.
• If the remote index is unavailable or malformed, the script falls back to suite-local catalog metadata in `skill.json`.

Installation

Cross-shell path note

• In `bash`/`zsh`, keep path variables expandable (for example, `INSTALL_ROOT="$HOME/.openclaw/skills"`).
• Do not single-quote home-variable paths (avoid `'$HOME/.openclaw/skills'`).
• In PowerShell, set an explicit path:
• `$env:INSTALL_ROOT = Join-Path $HOME ".openclaw\\skills"`
• If a path is passed with unresolved tokens (like `\$HOME/...`), suite scripts now fail fast with a clear error.

Option A: Via clawhub (recommended)

npx clawhub@latest install clawsec-suite

Option B: Manual download with signature + checksum verification
