ClawSkillShield 🛡️
Local-first security scanner for OpenClaw/ClawHub skills.
What It Does
- Static analysis for security risks and malware patterns
- Detects:
- Hardcoded secrets (API keys, credentials, private keys)
- Risky imports (
os,subprocess,socket,ctypes) - Dangerous calls (
eval(),exec(),open()) - Obfuscation (base64 blobs, suspicious encoding)
- Hardcoded IPs
- Risk scoring (0–10) + detailed threat reports
- Quarantine high-risk skills automatically
Dual-Use Design
- CLI for humans: Quick safety checks before installing skills
- Agent API: Importable functions for autonomous agents/Moltbots to proactively scan and quarantine risky skills (essential post-ClawHavoc)
Quick Start
CLI (Humans)
pip install -e .
clawskillshield scan-local /path/to/skill
clawskillshield quarantine /path/to/skill
Python API (Agents)
from clawskillshield import scan_local, quarantine
threats = scan_local("/path/to/skill")
if risk_score < 4: # HIGH RISK
quarantine("/path/to/skill")
Zero Dependencies
Pure Python. No network calls. Runs entirely locally.
Why This Matters
ClawHavoc demonstrated how easily malicious skills can slip into the ecosystem. ClawSkillShield provides a trusted, open-source defense layer—audit the code, run offline, stay safe.
