Vercel Skills Installation
Install with the Vercel Skills CLI for this harness:
npx skills add prompt-security/clawsec --skill picoclaw-self-pen-testing -a openclaw -y
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.
