## 🦞 What is ClawSec?
ClawSec is a **complete security skill suite for AI agent platforms**. It provides unified security monitoring, integrity verification, and threat intelligence-protecting your agent's cognitive architecture against prompt injection, drift, and malicious instructions.
### Supported Platforms
- **OpenClaw** (MoltBot, Clawdbot, and clones) - Full suite with skill installer, file integrity protection, and security audits
- **NanoClaw** - Containerized WhatsApp bot security with MCP tools for advisory monitoring, signature verification, and file integrity
- **Hermes** - Hermes-native security skills for signed advisory feed verification, advisory-aware guarded verification, deterministic attestation generation, fail-closed verification, and baseline drift detection
- **Picoclaw** - Lightweight AI gateway security posture checks with advisory awareness, config drift detection, release-artifact verification, and an optional separate self-pen-testing package
### Skill Feature Matrix
| Skill name | supported platform| security feed verification| config drift | agent self pen testing| supply-chain install verification | runtime traffic monitoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| claw-release | OpenClaw | No | No | No | Yes | No |

| clawtributor | All core platforms | No | No | No | No | No |
| hermes-attestation-guardian | Hermes | Yes (signed advisory feed verification) | Yes | No | Limited (advisory preflight gating only; no artifact signature/provenance install verification) | No |
| hermes-traffic-guardian | Hermes | No | Planned posture export only | No | No | Spec baseline |
| nanoclaw-traffic-guardian | NanoClaw | No | No | No | No | Spec baseline |
| openclaw-audit-watchdog | OpenClaw | No | No | Yes | No | No |

| picoclaw-traffic-guardian | Picoclaw | No | Planned profile export only | No | No | Spec baseline |
| soul-guardian | OpenClaw | No | Yes | No | No | No |
`Spec baseline` means the skill folder, metadata, frontmatter, and implementation contract exist, but runtime proxy code is intentionally left for platform-specific builders.
### Core Capabilities
- **📦 Suite Installer** - One-command installation of all security skills with integrity verification
- **🛡️ File Integrity Protection** - Drift detection and auto-restore for critical agent files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, etc.)
- **📡 Live Security Advisories** - Automated NVD CVE polling and community threat intelligence
- **🔍 Security Audits** - Self-check scripts to detect prompt injection markers and vulnerabilities
- **🔐 Checksum Verification** - SHA256 checksums for all skill artifacts
- **Runtime Traffic Monitoring Baselines** - Platform-specific specs for opt-in proxy inspection, exfiltration detection, and inbound injection detection
- **Health Checks** - Automated updates and integrity verification for all installed skills

## 🚀 Quick Start
### For AI Agents
```bash
# Install the ClawSec security suite
npx clawhub@latest install clawsec-suite
```
After install, the suite can:
1. Discover installable protections from the published skills catalog
2. Verify release integrity using signed checksums
3. Set up advisory monitoring and hook-based protection flows
4. Add optional scheduled checks
Manual/source-first option:
> Read https://github.com/prompt-security/clawsec/releases/latest/download/SKILL.md and follow the installation instructions.
### For Humans
Copy this instruction to your AI agent:
> Install ClawSec with `npx clawhub@latest install clawsec-suite`, then complete the setup steps from the generated instructions.
### Shell and OS Notes
ClawSec scripts are split between:
- Cross-platform Node/Python tooling (`npm run build`, hook/setup `.mjs`, `utils/*.py`)
- POSIX shell workflows (`*.sh`, most manual install snippets)
For Linux/macOS (`bash`/`zsh`):
- Use unquoted or double-quoted home vars: `export INSTALL_ROOT="$HOME/.openclaw/skills"`
- Do **not** single-quote expandable vars (for example, avoid `'$HOME/.openclaw/skills'`)
For Windows (PowerShell):
- Prefer explicit path building:
- `$env:INSTALL_ROOT = Join-Path $HOME ".openclaw\\skills"`
- `node "$env:INSTALL_ROOT\\clawsec-suite\\scripts\\setup_advisory_hook.mjs"`
- POSIX `.sh` scripts require WSL or Git Bash.
Troubleshooting: if you see directories such as `~/.openclaw/workspace/$HOME/...`, a home variable was passed literally. Re-run using an absolute path or an unquoted home expression.

## 📡 Security Advisory Feed
ClawSec maintains a continuously updated security advisory feed, automatically populated from NIST's National Vulnerability Database (NVD).
### Feed URL
```bash
# Fetch latest advisories
curl -s https://clawsec.prompt.security/advisories/feed.json | jq '.advisories[] | select(.severity == "critical" or .severity == "high")'
```
Canonical endpoint: `https://clawsec.prompt.security/advisories/feed.json`
Compatibility mirror (legacy): `https://clawsec.prompt.security/releases/latest/download/feed.json`
### Monitored Keywords
The feed polls CVEs related to:
- **OpenClaw Platform**: `OpenClaw`, `clawdbot`, `Moltbot`
- **NanoClaw Platform**: `NanoClaw`, `WhatsApp-bot`, `baileys`
- **Picoclaw Platform**: `Picoclaw`, `picoclaw`, lightweight AI gateways, MCP gateway exposure
- Prompt injection patterns
- Agent security vulnerabilities
### Exploitability Context
ClawSec enriches CVE advisories with **exploitability context** to help agents assess real-world risk beyond raw CVSS scores. Newly analyzed advisories can include:
- **Exploit Evidence**: Whether public exploits exist in the wild
- **Weaponization Status**: If exploits are integrated into common attack frameworks
- **Attack Requirements**: Prerequisites needed for successful exploitation (network access, authentication, user interaction)
- **Risk Assessment**: Contextualized risk level combining technical severity with exploitability
This feature helps agents prioritize vulnerabilities that pose immediate threats versus theoretical risks, enabling smarter security decisions.

## 🛠️ Offline Tools
ClawSec includes Python utilities for local skill development and validation.
### Skill Validator
Validates a skill folder against the required schema:
```bash
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:
```bash
python utils/package_skill.py skills/clawsec-feed ./dist
```
Outputs:
- `checksums.json` - SHA256 hashes for verification
---
## 🛠️ Local Development
### Prerequisites
- Node.js 20+
- Python 3.10+ (for offline tools)
- npm
### Setup
```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Start development server
npm run dev
```
### Populate Local Data
```bash
# Populate skills catalog from local skills/ directory
./scripts/populate-local-skills.sh
# Populate advisory feed with real NVD CVE data
./scripts/populate-local-feed.sh --days 120
# Generate wiki llms exports from wiki/ (for local preview)
./scripts/populate-local-wiki.sh
# Direct generator entrypoint (used by predev/prebuild)
npm run gen:wiki-llms
```
Notes:
- `npm run dev` and `npm run build` automatically regenerate wiki `llms.txt` exports (`predev`/`prebuild` hooks).
- `public/wiki/` is generated output (local + CI) and is intentionally gitignored.
### Build
```bash
npm run build
```

### Submitting Security Advisories
Found a prompt injection vector, malicious skill, or security vulnerability? Report it via GitHub Issues:
1. Open a new issue using the **Security Incident Report** template
2. Fill out the required fields (severity, type, description, affected skills)
3. A maintainer will review and add the `advisory-approved` label
4. The advisory is automatically published to the feed as `CLAW-{YEAR}-{ISSUE#}`
See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md#submitting-security-advisories) for detailed guidelines.
### Adding New Skills
1. Create a skill folder under `skills/`
2. Add `skill.json` with required metadata and SBOM

4. Validate with `python utils/validate_skill.py skills/your-skill`
5. Submit a PR for review
## 📚 Documentation Source of Truth
For all wiki content, edit files under `wiki/` in this repository. The GitHub Wiki (`.wiki.git`) is synced from `wiki/` by `.github/workflows/wiki-sync.yml` when `wiki/**` changes on `main`.
LLM exports are generated from `wiki/` into `public/wiki/`:
- `/wiki/llms.txt` is the LLM-ready export for `wiki/INDEX.md` (or a generated fallback index if `INDEX.md` is missing).
- `/wiki//llms.txt` is the LLM-ready export for that single wiki page.
