What is Skill Auditor?
Skill Auditor provides a thorough health-check utility for creators building and maintaining Openclaw Skills. The tool systematically analyzes agent configurations, underlying code, and documentation to pinpoint structural inconsistencies, security risks, and performance bottlenecks. By utilizing a flexible three-level maturity model, it adjusts its inspection depth from basic prototype checks to complete pre-release validation.
To ensure safety, the utility never modifies files or suggests publication without explicit developer authorization. It operates entirely under your control, utilizing a sequence of checkpoints to prompt you before executing remediation steps, cleansing boilerplate metadata, or generating local regression reports. This localized, validation-first design makes it a reliable asset for developers trying to maintain robust agent pipelines.
Skill Auditor Use Cases
- Scanning Openclaw Skills for security vulnerabilities, path exposures, or unencrypted secrets prior to local testing.
- Standardizing frontmatter configurations, version declarations, and bilingual file structures across multi-agent workspaces.
- Identifying and cleansing leftover boilerplate, authorship mismatches, or template leftovers in derived agent directories.
- Running automated regression tests to verify that manual updates have successfully resolved flagged violations without introducing new errors.
How Skill Auditor Works
- Initialization: The user triggers the tool using phrases like skill audit or skill check, pointing the auditor to a directory containing the SKILL.md file.
- Maturity Check (Phase 0): The tool automatically evaluates the project status to categorize it as L1 (Prototype), L2 (Iteration), or L3 (Release) and requests scope confirmation at Checkpoint 1.
- Multi-Phase Scan (Phases 1-3): The auditor runs static scanning and logical checks tailored to the target maturity tier, covering structural integrity, security rules, and platform compliance.
- Report and Options (Phase 4): It outputs a detailed .audit-report.md file containing individual dimension ratings and aggregate scores, then prompts the user for the next steps at Checkpoint 2.
- Remediation & Originality Check (Phase 4.5): With user permission, it carries out minimal edits to correct issues or executes dedicated cleansing scripts to resolve derivative template traits.
- Regression Verification (Phase 5): It runs differential comparisons against the previous audit run to verify successful fixes, presenting the outcome at Checkpoint 3.
- Release Guard (Phase 6): For release-grade configurations, the system reviews compliance benchmarks and presents manual deployment recommendations at Checkpoint 4.
Skill Auditor Setup
To initiate the evaluation process for your Openclaw Skills, set up the auditor within your development workspace:
- Ensure your target agent directory contains a valid
SKILL.mdfile. - Open your terminal or developer workspace interface.
- Run the audit command by prompting the auditor with the target directory path:
# Example invocation via command line or agent chat
"Run a skill audit on the directory ./skills/my-custom-agent"
- Follow the interactive CLI prompts to select your desired maturity level (L1, L2, or L3) and authorize file modifications if you wish to run the automated remediation step.
Skill Auditor Data Schema & Taxonomy
The utility stores its findings locally within the target skill directory to prevent configuration drift. This information is organized into a dedicated markdown report.
Audit Storage and Schema
| Location | Format | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
<skill-dir>/.audit-report.md |
Markdown File | Stores maturity levels, weighted scores, detailed findings, and regression histories. |
Report Sections
- Maturity Level: Indicates whether the audit was performed under L1 (Prototype), L2 (Iteration), or L3 (Release) rules.
- Score Summary Matrix: Dimension ratings graded on a 0-10 scale, applying weighted multipliers for security and platform compliance features.
- Detailed Findings: Bulleted issues containing specific
file:linelocations, priority rankings (Critical, Important, Minor, FYI), and suggested fixes. - Remediation Log: Tracks modified lines and records changes made during automated cleansing phases.
Skill Auditor Advanced Features
- Dual-Dimension Risk Profiling: Pairs overall health metrics with clear risk classifications (Low, Medium, High) based on file-write permissions and network dependencies.
- AST10 Security Guard: Scans files for critical vulnerabilities, including shell injections, insecure credential storage, and risky system commands.
- Grafting Cleansing Engine (A2 Mode): Examines seven distinct template patterns to remove residual author tags or conflicting metadata in copied files.
- Coherence Verification: Cross-references declared tool capabilities in frontmatter documentation with actual function references to ensure permission alignment.
