Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/prompt-security/clawsec --skill picoclaw-self-pen-testing
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads picoclaw-self-pen-testing automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

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.
