openclaw-carapace

openclaw-carapace is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from openclaw/clawhub. It costs 50 tokens per session (530 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for building or changing OpenClaw application interfaces with shared design tokens, themes, CSS foundations, and reusable UI components. Design tokens are named choices for colors, spacing, type, borders, and shadows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for product screens, components, themes, design-token integration, terminal interfaces, embedded interfaces, and operational layouts in OpenClaw.
Why use it?
It keeps screens visually consistent and helps prevent one-off styling that conflicts with the application's existing interface. It also guides checks of the affected routes and screenshots.

About the project

ClawHub is a public registry where OpenClaw users publish, version, search, and install text-based agent skills and OpenClaw packages. It provides web browsing, a CLI-oriented API, moderation, vector search, and artifact hosting for code plugins, bundle plugins, and experimental whole-agent packages. The catalogue skills and agents are entries that can be discovered or used through this registry.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

openclaw-carapace scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Carapace

Use the shared package for foundations and framework-neutral visual primitives. Keep consumer-specific behavior, data, routes, and layout composition local.

Workflow

  1. Read tokens.md before choosing colors, spacing, type, radii, or shadows.
  2. Read consumer-adapters.md for the current framework.
  3. Read application-surfaces.md when working on shells, panes, settings, or operational screens.
  4. Read terminal-ui.md when designing or auditing a terminal interface.
  5. Read embedded-surfaces.md when the surface renders inside a host frame, such as an MCP app.
  6. Inspect the consumer's existing shared primitives before creating a component.
  7. Use semantic tokens for UI intent; use palette primitives only for documented exceptions.
  8. Keep application behavior, routes, and information architecture unchanged unless the task says otherwise.
  9. Validate the affected routes with existing tests and real browser screenshots.

Interface Rules

  • Import the complete CSS contract or its focused exported entry points.
  • Compose shared classes from components.css before adding a one-off visual implementation.
  • Use local shared primitives before raw controls or one-off component implementations.
  • Keep one primary action per decision area.
  • Use familiar icons for icon-only commands and provide accessible names.
  • Use status colors for status, warning, success, error, and informational meaning.
  • Keep cards, controls, and repeated fixed-format elements dimensionally stable.
  • Avoid nested decorative cards and page sections styled as floating cards.
  • Keep surfaces, controls, and insets square through their semantic radius tokens.
  • Reserve round geometry for avatars, status dots, and other truly circular indicators.
  • Keep focus, hover, active, disabled, loading, and invalid states coherent.
  • Keep text within its container at supported viewport sizes.
  • Prefer dense, scan-friendly composition for operational product surfaces.
  • Share application anatomy across consumers without forcing web and native implementations into pixel-identical layouts.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
