Diagnose OpenClaw node connection and pairing failures for Android, iOS, and macOS companion apps.

  • QR/setup code/manual connect fails
  • SKILL.md covers Topology first, If ambiguous, ask first, Canonical checks and Read the result, not guesses, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Local Wi-Fi works but VPS/tailnet does not

What it does

Node Connect is an agent skill from SafeAI-Lab-X/ClawKeeper. Diagnose OpenClaw node connection and pairing failures for Android, iOS, and macOS companion apps. Use when QR/setup code/manual connect fails, local Wi-Fi works but VPS/tailnet does not, or errors mention pairing required, unauthorized, bootstrap token invalid or expired, gateway.bind, gateway.remote.url, Tailscale, or plugins.entries.device-pair.config.publicUrl.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Mobile. It works with Android, iOS and macOS. The repository describes itself as: ClawKeeper: Comprehensive Safety Protection for OpenClaw Agents Through Skills, Plugins, and Watchers (aka The Norton for OpenClaw).

When your agent uses it

  • QR/setup code/manual connect fails
  • Local Wi-Fi works but VPS/tailnet does not
  • Errors mention pairing required
  • Bootstrap token invalid

Example prompts

  • “/node-connect”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 69db077. 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).

    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

Node Connect loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 510 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 510 words (~1,163 tokens).

“Goal: find the one real route from node -> gateway, verify OpenClaw is advertising that route, then fix pairing/auth.”
