Security self-check skill for Clawdbot / Moltbot. Reads ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json and checks 7 items that cover the most common misconfigurations. Outputs a simple PASS / FAIL / WARN report.

How to run

Say any of:

• "run a security check"
• "check my security settings"
• "audit my clawdbot config"
• "am I secure?"

Checklist — step by step

When this skill is triggered, follow these steps exactly:

Step 0 — Read the config

Use the read tool to open ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json. Parse the JSON content. If the file does not exist or is unreadable, report an error and stop.

Also run a shell command to get the file permissions:

stat -f '%Lp' ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json

(On Linux: stat -c '%a' ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json)

Step 1 — Gateway Bind

• Path: gateway.bind
• Expected: "loopback" or "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" or "::1"
• PASS if the value is one of the above or the key is absent (default is "loopback")
• FAIL if the value is "0.0.0.0", "::", or any non-loopback address
• Severity: CRITICAL — a non-loopback bind exposes your agent to the network

Step 2 — Gateway Auth Mode

• Path: gateway.auth.mode
• Expected: "token" or "password"
• PASS if the value is "token" or "password", or the key is absent (default is "token")
• FAIL if the value is "off" or "none"
• Severity: CRITICAL — without auth anyone who can reach the gateway can control your agent

Step 3 — Token Strength

• Path: gateway.auth.token
• Expected: 32 or more characters
• PASS if the token is >= 32 characters
• WARN if the token is 16–31 characters
• FAIL if the token is < 16 characters or empty
• SKIP if auth mode is "password" (passwords are user-chosen, don't judge length)
• Severity: HIGH — short tokens are vulnerable to brute-force

Step 4 — DM Policy (per channel)

• Path: channels..dmPolicy for each channel
• Expected: "pairing" — or if "open", there must be a non-empty allowFrom array
• PASS if dmPolicy is "pairing", or if allowFrom has at least one entry
• FAIL if dmPolicy is "open" and allowFrom is missing or empty
• SKIP if no channels are configured
• Severity: HIGH — an open DM policy lets anyone send commands to your agent

Step 5 — Group Policy (per channel)

• Path: channels..groupPolicy for each channel
• Expected: "allowlist"
• PASS if groupPolicy is "allowlist" or absent (default is "allowlist")
• FAIL if groupPolicy is "open" or "any"
• SKIP if no channels are configured
• Severity: HIGH — non-allowlist group policy lets any group trigger your agent

Step 6 — File Permissions

• Check: file mode of ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json
• Expected: 600 or 400 (owner read/write only)
• PASS if permissions are 600 or 400
• WARN if permissions are 644 or 640 (group/other can read)
• FAIL if permissions are 777, 755, 666, or anything world-writable
• Severity: MEDIUM — loose permissions let other users on the system read your tokens

Step 7 — Plaintext Secrets Scan

• Check: scan all string values in the JSON for keys named password, secret, apiKey, api_key, privateKey, private_key (case-insensitive) that contain a non-empty string value
• PASS if no such keys are found
• WARN if such keys exist — remind the user to consider using environment variables or a secrets manager
• Note: token fields used for gateway auth are expected and should NOT be flagged
• Severity: MEDIUM — plaintext secrets in config files can be leaked through backups, logs, or version control

Output format

After completing all checks, output a report in this exact format:

🔒 Security Check Report

1. Gateway Bind        <ICON> <STATUS> — <detail>
2. Gateway Auth        <ICON> <STATUS> — <detail>
3. Token Strength      <ICON> <STATUS> — <detail>
4. DM Policy           <ICON> <STATUS> — <detail>
5. Group Policy        <ICON> <STATUS> — <detail>
6. File Permissions    <ICON> <STATUS> — <detail>
7. Secrets Scan        <ICON> <STATUS> — <detail>

Score: X/7 PASS, Y WARN, Z FAIL

Where:

• is one of: ✅ (PASS), ⚠️ (WARN), ❌ (FAIL), ⏭️ (SKIP)
• is one of: PASS, WARN, FAIL, SKIP
• is a short explanation (e.g., "loopback", "token mode", "48 chars", "permissions 600")

Auto-fix flow

If any item is FAIL or WARN, do the following:

1. Show the report first (as above).
2. List each fixable item with a short description of what will be changed.
3. Ask the user: "Want me to fix these? (yes / no / pick)"

- yes — fix all FAIL and WARN items automatically. - no — stop, do nothing. - pick — let the user choose which items to fix.

1. Apply the fixes (see Fix recipes below).
2. After applying, re-read the config and re-run the full check to confirm everything is PASS.
3. If the config was changed, remind the user: "Run clawdbot gateway restart to apply the new settings."

Fix recipes

Use these exact fixes for each item. Edit ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json using the edit/write tool.

#1 Gateway Bind — FAIL

Set gateway.bind to "loopback":

{ "gateway": { "bind": "loopback" } }

#2 Gateway Auth — FAIL

Set gateway.auth.mode to "token". If no token exists yet, also generate one:

{ "gateway": { "auth": { "mode": "token", "token": "<GENERATED>" } } }

Generate the token with:

openssl rand -hex 24

That produces a 48-character hex string (192-bit entropy).

#3 Token Strength — FAIL / WARN

Replace the existing token with a new strong one:

openssl rand -hex 24

Write the output into gateway.auth.token.

#4 DM Policy — FAIL

Set dmPolicy to "pairing" for each affected channel:

{ "channels": { "<name>": { "dmPolicy": "pairing" } } }

#5 Group Policy — FAIL

Set groupPolicy to "allowlist" for each affected channel:

{ "channels": { "<name>": { "groupPolicy": "allowlist" } } }

#6 File Permissions — FAIL / WARN

Run:

chmod 600 ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json

#7 Secrets Scan — WARN

This one cannot be auto-fixed safely. Instead, list each flagged key and remind the user:

• Move the value to an environment variable
• Or use a secrets manager
• Reference it in the config as "$ENV_VAR_NAME" if the platform supports it

Important rules for auto-fix

• Always back up first. Before writing any changes, copy the original:

```bash cp ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json ~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json.bak ```

• Merge, don't overwrite. Read the full JSON, modify only the specific

keys, write back the complete JSON. Never lose existing settings.

• Preserve formatting. Write the JSON with 2-space indentation.
• One write operation. Collect all JSON fixes, apply them in a single

write to avoid partial states.

• Token replacement requires restart. If the gateway token was changed,

the user must update any paired clients with the new token. Warn: "Your gateway token was changed. Any paired devices will need the new token to reconnect."

What this skill does NOT check

• Sandbox configuration (not needed for most setups)
• Network isolation / Docker (macOS native setups don't use it)
• MCP tool permissions (too complex for a basic audit)
• Whether your OS firewall is configured
• Whether your agent code has vulnerabilities
