SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Hosts running OpenClaw often ship with weak firewall, SSH, and update configurations, and users lack a structured way to assess exposure and apply hardening without locking themselves out. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Read-only security audits: Runs openclaw security audit --deep, port scans, firewall checks, and backup/encryption status checks to build a posture summary. - Risk-profile-based remediation: Produces a step-by-step hardening plan with exact commands, rollback strategy, and explicit approval gates for every state-changing action. - Scheduled monitoring: Sets up recurring audits and update checks via openclaw cron with stable job names like healthcheck:security-audit. - Use Case: A user running OpenClaw on a VPS asks for a security review; the skill audits listening ports and SSH config, proposes a deny-by-default firewall plan, and schedules weekly audits after approval. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run a security healthcheck on this machine and harden it to a balanced home workstation profile.

Frequently Asked Questions about healthcheck

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a security audit on an OpenClaw host?

Run `openclaw security audit --deep` for a thorough read-only assessment, or `openclaw security audit` for a faster non-probing check. The skill also inspects listening ports, firewall status, backups, and disk encryption using standard OS commands.

How to harden SSH and firewall on a VPS running OpenClaw?

Choose the VPS Hardened risk profile, which applies deny-by-default inbound firewall rules, key-only SSH, no root login, and automatic security updates. Every change requires explicit approval and includes a rollback plan to prevent lockout.

Does OpenClaw change my firewall or SSH settings automatically?

No. OpenClaw itself never modifies host firewall, SSH, or OS update policies. The `openclaw security audit --fix` command only tightens OpenClaw's own defaults and file permissions; OS-level hardening is a separate, explicitly approved process.

Can I schedule periodic security audits with OpenClaw cron?

Yes. Use `openclaw cron add --name healthcheck:security-audit` to schedule daily or weekly audits, and `healthcheck:update-status` for version checks. Scheduling always requires explicit user approval and a chosen output location.

What happens if a hardening step locks me out of remote access?

The skill prevents this by confirming your access path before changes, staging reversible steps, and verifying remote access still works after each modification. Execution stops on unexpected output and asks for guidance.
