What is KYC Vault?
The KYC Vault is a specialized tool designed for Openclaw Skills to handle the sensitive process of Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. It bridges the gap between local document storage and web-based verification forms, allowing users to automate the submission of IDs, passports, and selfies without compromising security. By keeping all sensitive data in a local identity-vault, the skill ensures that personal information remains under the user's direct control at all times.
This skill is built with a zero-trust architecture, meaning it never assumes permission. It operates through a rigorous confirmation lifecycle, verifying domains and asking for explicit consent before any file is read or uploaded. For developers and power users of Openclaw Skills, it provides a seamless way to navigate complex fintech and residency verification workflows while maintaining the highest standards of data privacy.
KYC Vault Use Cases
- Automating identity verification on financial platforms and crypto exchanges.
- Managing and submitting digital residency documents like Palau ID.
- Securely storing and deploying identity documents from a localized vault.
- Reducing manual form-filling errors during multi-step verification processes using Openclaw Skills.
How KYC Vault Works
- The user triggers the workflow by providing a URL for the KYC process.
- The skill performs a domain verification check to prevent phishing and asks the user to confirm the target site.
- It requests permission to read the manifest.json file from the local ~/identity-vault/ directory.
- The skill navigates the browser to the verification page and identifies the specific document requirements (e.g., selfie, ID back).
- It maps local files to the website's requirements and asks for individual permission for each file upload.
- Personal data fields are extracted from the manifest and shown to the user for approval before being entered into the web form.
- A final summary is presented for confirmation before the skill submits the completed KYC application.
KYC Vault Setup
To initialize the vault for Openclaw Skills, follow these configuration steps:
- Ensure you have a directory named
~/identity-vault/on your system. - Place your scanned identity documents and photos in this directory.
- Create a
manifest.jsonfile inside the folder containing your personal details and document mappings. - Run the initialization command:
kyc setup
- Verify your documents are correctly indexed without exposing sensitive data:
kyc list
KYC Vault Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes identity data using a local filesystem structure and a metadata manifest. Use the following schema to prepare your Openclaw Skills environment:
| Component | Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|
~/identity-vault/ |
Directory | The secure local root for all identity files. |
manifest.json |
JSON File | Contains personal_info (name, DOB) and documents mapping. |
government_id |
Image/PDF | Front of your primary government-issued identification. |
passport |
Image/PDF | Your international passport photo page. |
selfie |
Image | A clear photo of your face for liveness checks. |
All file access is mediated by the Openclaw Skills permission protocol to ensure no silent data exfiltration occurs.
KYC Vault Advanced Features
- Multi-step domain verification to block injection attacks and phishing attempts.
- Granular permission logic that requires individual approval for every single file access and upload.
- Intelligent requirement mapping that prioritizes specific document types like
government_id_with_selfiefor higher success rates. - Complete isolation from webpage-based commands, ensuring the skill only follows instructions from the authorized user within the Openclaw Skills interface.
