picoclaw-self-pen-testing

Picoclaw Posture Review (separate package)

Purpose: keep Picoclaw posture-review checks isolated from the broader guardian package so moderation-sensitive checks can be versioned/published independently.

Vercel Skills Installation

Install with the Vercel Skills CLI for this harness:

npx skills add prompt-security/clawsec --skill picoclaw-self-pen-testing -a openclaw -y

Release Artifact Verification

For standalone installs, verify the signed release manifest before trusting SKILL.md, skill.json, or the archive. The skill.json file is the package metadata/SBOM source, and the release pipeline signs checksums.json with the ClawSec release key.

Scope

This skill only performs local, read-only posture-review analysis against an existing Picoclaw posture profile.

It flags:

• public Web UI exposure
• disabled UI auth
• unrestricted workspace/tooling
• unsigned verification mode
• MCP trust-boundary review needs
• scheduler persistence review
• plaintext secret markers
• multi-channel auth review

Usage

node scripts/self_pen_test.mjs --profile ~/.picoclaw/security/clawsec/current-profile.json

Validation

python utils/validate_skill.py skills/picoclaw-self-pen-testing
node skills/picoclaw-self-pen-testing/test/self_pen_test.test.mjs
