AB audit-openclaw-security
Audit and harden OpenClaw (Gateway + agents) security. Use when the user asks to audit/secure/harden OpenClaw; when troubleshooting risky exposure (especially the Gateway web UI/control plane on port 18789); when reviewing DM/group access control (pairing/allowlists/mention-gating); tool permissions (exec/fs/browser/nodes/gateway/cron); plugins/skills supply-chain risk; secrets/transcripts/log retention; or when deploying OpenClaw on a Mac mini, personal laptop, Docker host, or cloud VM (AWS EC2/VPS).

As a process B 68/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, running it twice
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 68/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 30Running it twice. 4 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 85Steps. 87 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Failures and branches. 2 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2432 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- low 10 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 506: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 26 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 87 items
- +3Output format is stated explicitly
- +4Has examples (8 code blocks)
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (5 of 7)
- +3All 3 scripts are documented
- +1License stated
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 95.
