openclaw-hardening

Audit and harden an OpenClaw installation for common security misconfigurations. Covers non-loopback binding, exposed gateway listeners, root or Administrator execution, missing authentication, overly permissive tool policies, open DM access, plaintext API keys, and insecure file permissions. Use this skill whenever the user asks to secure OpenClaw, review a first-time setup, check whether a config is safe, audit local exposure, fix risky defaults before installing more skills, or asks "is my openclaw setup safe", "openclaw config audit", or "harden openclaw". Proactively offer to run this audit whenever the user mentions setting up or reconfiguring OpenClaw.
