What it does

Healthcheck is an agent skill from openclaw/openclaw. Audit/harden OpenClaw hosts: SSH, firewall, updates, exposure, backups, disk encryption, gateway security.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Backup and disaster recovery. The repository describes itself as: The AI that really does things. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Backup and disaster recovery

Example prompts

  • “/healthcheck”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Convenience: local/private, minimal prompts.
  2. Balanced: secure defaults, low friction.
  3. Strict: remote/public/sensitive data, more lock-down.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3193e15. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and powershell).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Healthcheck loads about 728 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 292 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~728

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

OpenClaw host healthcheck

Goal: assess host risk, run read-only checks, then propose staged hardening without breaking access.

Rules

  • Ask before state-changing actions.
  • Do not change SSH/firewall/remote access until access path is confirmed.
  • Prefer reversible steps and rollback notes.
  • Never claim OpenClaw manages OS firewall, SSH, or updates.
  • If identity/role unknown, recommend only.
  • User choices: numbered list.
  • Never print secrets.

Context to infer first

  • OS/version, container vs host.
  • Privilege level.
  • Access path: local, SSH, RDP, tailnet.
  • Network exposure: public IP, reverse proxy, tunnel, LAN only.
  • OpenClaw gateway status, bind, auth.
  • Backup status.
  • Disk encryption.
  • Automatic security updates.
  • Usage mode: personal workstation, local assistant box, remote server, other.

Ask only for missing facts. Simple phrasing preferred.

Read-only checks

Ask once for permission to run read-only checks. Then run relevant commands.

Common:

bash
openclaw security audit --deep
openclaw gateway status --deep
openclaw doctor --lint

doctor --lint can exit 1 for findings: read the report and continue the remaining checks. Ordinary doctor and doctor --non-interactive can copy legacy config and migrate state without --fix; reserve repairs for explicit approval. Read-only checks exclude config/service repairs and state migrations, but may produce incidental logs or cache bookkeeping.

macOS:

bash
sw_vers
lsof -nP -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN
/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --getglobalstate
pfctl -s info
tmutil status
fdesetup status
softwareupdate --schedule

Linux:

bash
cat /etc/os-release
ss -ltnup || ss -ltnp
ufw status || firewall-cmd --state || nft list ruleset
systemctl status ssh sshd
lsblk -f

Windows:

powershell
systeminfo
Get-NetFirewallProfile
Get-BitLockerVolume

Risk profile

After context is known, ask desired posture:

  1. Convenience: local/private, minimal prompts.
  2. Balanced: secure defaults, low friction.
  3. Strict: remote/public/sensitive data, more lock-down.

Report shape

  • Current posture: one paragraph.
  • Findings: severity + evidence + why it matters.
  • Recommended plan: staged, reversible.
  • Commands: read-only first; write actions only after approval.
  • Gaps: what could not be checked.

Hardening menu

Offer only relevant items:

  • Bind gateway to loopback/LAN/tailnet intentionally.
  • Require auth for remote access.
  • Close public ports or restrict by firewall.
  • Enable OS security updates.
  • Enable disk encryption.
  • Verify backups and restore path.
  • Disable password SSH or require keys/MFA where appropriate.
  • Add scheduled openclaw security audit --deep.

Confirm exact action before applying.
