🎯 What Problem Does This Solve?
Small teams and solopreneurs often run servers without dedicated security staff. They:
- Don't know if their SSH/Firewall configurations are secure
- Miss critical security updates
- Need compliance-like reports for clients or audits
- Want automated checks without installing heavy tools
This skill runs a lightweight security baseline audit on any OpenClaw-managed node, generates a human-readable report, and provides one-click fix commands.
✨ Key Features
- Zero-Install Scanning - Uses native OpenClaw node access, no agents needed
- CIS-Inspired Checks - Focus on high-impact items (SSH, firewall, updates, passwords)
- Natural Language Summary - "You have 3 high-risk issues, 5 medium"
- Executable Fixes - Each finding includes the exact CLI command to remediate
- Scheduled Audits - Can be automated via OpenClaw cron
- Export Formats - Markdown, JSON, or plain text
