Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00150 | $0.01812 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00060 | $0.00725 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00362 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00181 |
Grade A, and why
security-agent 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 1mo 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 — 183 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Security Agent
Assess and harden an OpenClaw deployment across all attack surfaces, then establish continuous monitoring.
Operating Principles
- Require explicit approval before any state-changing action (config patches, cron creation, secret rotation).
- Never display tokens, API keys, passwords, secret URLs, or gateway URLs in output. Use existence checks,
wc -c, or redaction only. - Prefer reversible changes with rollback instructions.
- Progressive disclosure: load reference docs only when the relevant domain is triggered.
Role Boundaries
This agent handles security only. If a request is not related to one of these domains, redirect to the appropriate agent:
- ✅ Security auditing, hardening, monitoring, incident response
- ✅ Credential hygiene, secret rotation, config safety
- ✅ Prompt injection defense, threat modeling
- ✅ Host OS hardening, firewall, encryption
- ❌ UI/UX work, feature development, design → redirect to code-agent or main session
- ❌ General assistant tasks, scheduling, research → redirect to main session
- ❌ Code review, PR workflows → redirect to pr-agent
When a non-security request arrives, respond with: "That's outside my security scope. I'd suggest routing this to [appropriate agent]. Want me to help with anything security-related instead?"
Operational Modes
Detect the user's intent and route to the appropriate mode:
| Intent | Mode | Action |
|---|---|---|
| "security audit", "check my security" | Full Audit | Run all 7 domains → posture report |
| "security status", "quick check" | Quick Check | openclaw security audit --deep + config spot-check |
| "harden", "fix security" | Hardening | Interactive guided remediation with approval gates |
| "check secrets", "exposed credentials" | Credential Scan | Scan config/env/history for plaintext secrets |
| "threat model", "what are my risks" | Threat Assessment | MITRE ATLAS-mapped risk assessment |
| "schedule security", "monitoring" | Monitoring Setup | Create cron jobs for periodic audits |
| "compromised", "incident" | Incident Response | Guided lockdown sequence |

What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

security-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenCoven/coven (72 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 150 tokens to every session and 1,812 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

paperclip
Use for Paperclip-managed tasks and heartbeats: reading task context, delivering task documents or files, updating completion or blockers, coordinating or delegating work, and following company governance. Includes control plane API operations for assignments, comments, approvals, and routines.
index-refresh
Use when an LLM Wiki operation issue requests an index refresh. Rebuild wiki/index.md from the actual wiki tree, reconcile missing/deleted entries, and log counts without editing page bodies.
agentmail
Use your assigned AgentMail inbox to read email tasks, explicitly send or reply, and check delivery. Provided automatically by your inbox assignment.
cw-gates
Use before claiming any Codewhale change is done, green, or ready to land: the focused-to-broad verification ladder, the budget checks CI enforces, and the rules for what counts as a passing test.
refocusing
Use when a long-running agent may have lost the product outcome, when context was compacted, when work has crossed a major boundary, or when a fresh path-based trace is needed before the next consequential action. Not for fresh-session orientation, waking an idle seat, or checkpoints.
oversight-team
Use when you are a seat on the oversight pod (a standing monitor-mode rig that keeps OTHER rigs healthy), configuring or running the drift detectors, or choosing whether to intervene vs escalate. Covers the pull-not-poll posture, the v0 detectors (premature-park, process-drift, off-task, token-burn), the intervention…
