What it does

Openclaw Ghsa Maintainer is an agent skill from openclaw/openclaw. Inspect, patch, validate, publish, or confirm OpenClaw GHSA security advisories and private-fork state.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: The AI that really does things. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/openclaw-ghsa-maintainer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f8e594e. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • jq
    • npm
    • rg

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Openclaw Ghsa Maintainer loads about 741 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 295 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~741

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 GHSA Maintainer

Use this skill for repo security advisory workflow only. Keep general release work in release-openclaw-maintainer.

Respect advisory guardrails

  • Before reviewing or publishing a repo advisory, read SECURITY.md.
  • Ask permission before any publish action.
  • Treat this skill as GHSA-only. Do not use it for stable or beta release work.

Fetch and inspect advisory state

Fetch the current advisory and the latest published npm version:

bash
gh api /repos/openclaw/openclaw/security-advisories/<GHSA>
npm view openclaw version --userconfig "$(mktemp)"

Use the fetch output to confirm the advisory state, linked private fork, and vulnerability payload shape before patching.

Verify private fork PRs are closed

Before publishing, verify that the advisory's private fork has no open PRs:

bash
fork=$(gh api /repos/openclaw/openclaw/security-advisories/<GHSA> | jq -r .private_fork.full_name)
gh pr list -R "$fork" --state open

The PR list must be empty before publish.

Prepare advisory Markdown and JSON safely

  • Write advisory Markdown via heredoc to a temp file. Do not use escaped \n strings.
  • Build PATCH payload JSON with jq, not hand-escaped shell JSON.

Example pattern:

bash
cat > /tmp/ghsa.desc.md <<'EOF'
<markdown description>
EOF

jq -n --rawfile desc /tmp/ghsa.desc.md \
  '{summary,severity,description:$desc,vulnerabilities:[...]}' \
  > /tmp/ghsa.patch.json

Apply PATCH calls in the correct sequence

  • Do not set severity and cvss_vector_string in the same PATCH call.
  • Use separate calls when the advisory requires both fields.
  • Publish by PATCHing the advisory and setting "state":"published". There is no separate /publish endpoint.

Example shape:

bash
gh api -X PATCH /repos/openclaw/openclaw/security-advisories/<GHSA> \
  --input /tmp/ghsa.patch.json

Publish and verify success

After publish, re-fetch the advisory and confirm:

  • state=published
  • published_at is set
  • the description does not contain literal escaped \\n

Verification pattern:

bash
gh api /repos/openclaw/openclaw/security-advisories/<GHSA>
jq -r .description < /tmp/ghsa.refetch.json | rg '\\\\n'

Common GHSA footguns

  • Publishing fails with HTTP 422 if required fields are missing or the private fork still has open PRs.
  • A payload that looks correct in shell can still be wrong if Markdown was assembled with escaped newline strings.
  • Advisory PATCH sequencing matters; separate field updates when GHSA API constraints require it.
  • Public hardening/no-publish comments and draft text should avoid raw commit hashes, PR titles/numbers, and fix-mechanism summaries. Prefer patched-version fields or release-only wording; keep SHAs, PRs, and implementation notes in internal evidence.
