Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No credential access: failed

    Touches credential material in 4 places.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

    What it found (3 of 4)

    • skills/config-hardener/SKILL.md:57SSH private keys or config
      - Reading ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.env outside project
    • skills/config-hardener/SKILL.md:57environment file outside the project
      - Reading ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.env outside project
    • skills/config-hardener/SKILL.md:112SSH private keys or config
      - Read or access ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.gnupg, ~/.config/gh

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned useai-pro/openclaw-skills-security at 4645f2d047.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The config-hardener skill strengthens system configurations to reduce vulnerabilities. It automatically assesses existing configuration files and suggests or implements security improvements, such as enforcing stricter password policies or disabling unnecessary services. This helps minimize the attack surface of a system by applying best practice hardening techniques.

When to use it

  • Securing a new server: Before deploying applications, harden the base operating system configuration.
  • Auditing existing systems: Identify and remediate potential security weaknesses in current configurations.
  • Automating compliance checks: Ensure ongoing adherence to security policies and industry standards.
  • Improving cloud infrastructure security: Apply hardening best practices to virtual machines or container deployments.

Key capabilities

  • Configuration file assessment
  • Security improvement suggestions
  • Automated configuration changes
  • Best practice implementation

Example prompts

  • "Harden the SSH configuration on this server."
  • "Review and improve the default firewall rules."
  • "Apply CIS benchmark settings for Apache webserver."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires appropriate permissions to modify system configurations. Always review suggested changes before automated implementation to avoid unintended consequences or service disruption.
