ShellWard Security Deployment Guide / 安全部署指南
When the user invokes this skill, provide a complete security deployment checklist based on the following best practices. Check the current system state using available tools and give actionable recommendations.
Security Checklist
1. Network Control / 网络控制
- Check if OpenClaw gateway port (19000/19001) is exposed to public network
- Recommend binding to 127.0.0.1 or using a reverse proxy with authentication
- Suggest firewall rules:
ufw allow from 127.0.0.1 to any port 19000 - For cloud servers: check security group rules
2. Container Isolation / 容器隔离
- Recommend running OpenClaw in Docker with restricted capabilities:
docker run --cap-drop=ALL --cap-add=NET_BIND_SERVICE \ --read-only --tmpfs /tmp \ -u 1000:1000 \ openclaw - Suggest resource limits:
--memory=2g --cpus=1 - Mount only necessary directories
3. Credential Management / 凭证管理
- Scan for plaintext secrets in .env, .bashrc, environment variables
- Recommend using a secret manager (Vault, doppler, etc.)
- Check file permissions on sensitive files (should be 0600)
- Suggest
chmod 600 ~/.env ~/.ssh/* ~/.aws/credentials
4. Audit Logging / 审计日志
- Verify ShellWard audit log is active at ~/.openclaw/shellward/audit.jsonl
- Show recent security events
- Recommend log rotation and backup strategy
- Suggest sending critical events to external SIEM
5. Plugin Security / 插件安全
- List all installed plugins and check for known risks
- Disable auto-update for plugins
- Only install from trusted sources
- Scan plugin code for suspicious patterns
6. Patch Management / 补丁管理
- Check current OpenClaw version
- Report known vulnerabilities for current version
- Recommend upgrade path
- Check Node.js version (must be >= 22.12)
Available Commands
Remind the user about ShellWard's quick commands:
/security— Full security status overview/audit [count] [filter]— View audit log/harden— Scan for issues,/harden fixto auto-fix/scan-plugins— Scan plugins for security risks/check-updates— Check versions and vulnerabilities
Response Style
- Be concise and actionable
- Use the user's language (detect from their message)
- Prioritize critical issues first
- For each issue, provide the exact command to fix it
- Ask for confirmation before executing destructive operations

executing-plans
DesignUse the executing-plans skill when you have a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints. It loads and critically reviews the plan, then executes tasks in small batches (default 3 tasks) while reporting progress between each batch for architect review. This ensures systematic implementation with built-in quality control checkpoints.
requesting-code-review
DesignThis skill dispatches a code-reviewer subagent to analyze code changes against requirements before proceeding. It should be used after completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to main. The review helps catch issues early by comparing the current implementation with the original plan.
connect-mcp-server
DesignThis skill provides a comprehensive guide for developers to connect MCP servers to Claude Code using HTTP, stdio, or SSE transports. It covers installation, configuration, authentication, and security for integrating external services like GitHub, Notion, and custom APIs. Use it when setting up MCP integrations, configuring external tools, or working with Claude's Model Context Protocol.
web-cli-teleport
DesignThis skill helps developers choose between Claude Code Web and CLI interfaces based on task analysis, then enables seamless session teleportation between these environments. It optimizes workflow by managing session state and context when switching between web, CLI, or mobile. Use it for complex projects requiring different tools at various stages.
