ClawVault is a security vault for controlling how AI agents access private files, credentials, API keys, and other sensitive data. It is for people who want to monitor agent activity, record interactions with protected assets, detect injection attacks, and restrict access through fine-grained capabilities. The catalogue skills support operating and managing this vault.
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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Rogue Agent · line 45 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
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 | $0.00023 | $0.01439 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00720 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00288 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00144 |
Grade A, and why
tophant-clawvault-installer 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 13d 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 — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ClawVault Installer
Install, configure, test, and uninstall ClawVault — the AI security proxy that protects agents from prompt injection, data leakage, and dangerous commands.
Protection Against:
- Prompt injection attacks
- Data leakage (PII, credentials, API keys)
- Dangerous command execution
- Jailbreak attempts
What This Skill Does
Installs ClawVault into a dedicated venv at ~/.clawvault-env/ and writes config under ~/.ClawVault/. See SECURITY.md for the full capability, risk, and design-intent disclosure.
How to Run
IMPORTANT: All commands MUST be executed using the Python script bundled with this skill.
Do NOT run pip install, clawvault, or any other command directly. Always use:
python3 SKILL_DIR/clawvault_manager.py <command> [options]
Where SKILL_DIR is the directory containing this SKILL.md file (typically ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/tophant-clawvault-installer/ or ~/.openclaw/skills/tophant-clawvault-installer/).
Add --json to any command for machine-readable JSON output.
Commands
/tophant-clawvault-installer install
Install ClawVault. The script creates a Python virtual environment, temporarily installs the latest GitHub repository code from main instead of PyPI or a fixed tag, generates config, writes OpenClaw gateway proxy config when the gateway service exists, and starts ClawVault services. By default it does not restart openclaw-gateway, because recent OpenClaw versions may disconnect or hang after a gateway restart. No pip or system package manager needed.
# Default: write OpenClaw gateway proxy config and start ClawVault web dashboard,
# but do not restart openclaw-gateway.
# ClawVault web dashboard starts at http://localhost:8766.
# To activate OpenClaw proxy later, manually run:
# systemctl --user restart openclaw-gateway
python3 SKILL_DIR/clawvault_manager.py install --mode quick --install-plugin --json
# Interactive setup
python3 SKILL_DIR/clawvault_manager.py install --mode standard --json
# Full control (strict mode)
python3 SKILL_DIR/clawvault_manager.py install --mode advanced --json
# Install without starting services
python3 SKILL_DIR/clawvault_manager.py install --mode quick --no-start --json
# Deprecated compatibility flag: proxy config is already written by default
python3 SKILL_DIR/clawvault_manager.py install --mode quick --configure-gateway-proxy --json
# Dangerous: restart gateway immediately; may disconnect or hang OpenClaw
python3 SKILL_DIR/clawvault_manager.py install --mode quick --configure-gateway-proxy --restart-gateway --json
# Skip OpenClaw proxy integration explicitly
python3 SKILL_DIR/clawvault_manager.py install --mode quick --no-proxy --json
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

tophant-clawvault-installer is a skill published in the GitHub repository tophant-ai/ClawVault (1,079 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 1,439 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
