Install the healthcheck skill
A skill is a folder. Copy it into your agent's skills folder and the agent loads it when the task matches its description.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git /tmp/openclaw mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -r /tmp/openclaw/skills/healthcheck ~/.claude/skills/healthcheck
In the Claude apps, zip the folder and upload it from the Skills settings. The folder on GitHub

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:
openclaw security audit --deep
openclaw gateway status --deep
openclaw doctor --lintdoctor --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:
sw_vers
lsof -nP -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN
/usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --getglobalstate
pfctl -s info
tmutil status
fdesetup status
softwareupdate --scheduleLinux:
cat /etc/os-release
ss -ltnup || ss -ltnp
ufw status || firewall-cmd --state || nft list ruleset
systemctl status ssh sshd
lsblk -fWindows:
systeminfo
Get-NetFirewallProfile
Get-BitLockerVolumeRisk profile
After context is known, ask desired posture:
- Convenience: local/private, minimal prompts.
- Balanced: secure defaults, low friction.
- 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.
