Modular Skill Groups

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill openly manages OpenClaw skill groups by reading and writing a single active-group setting, with no evidence of hidden code, exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

Before installing, understand that this skill can change which skills are active in future OpenClaw sessions by updating ~/.openclaw/active_skill_group. Use explicit group-switch requests and verify the active group if an agent seems to be using the wrong skill set.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Finding

The trigger list includes broad phrases such as "what skills do I have," "load skills," and "too many skills," which could be mentioned in normal conversation without the user intending to invoke this skill. Because this skill changes active skill groups and context composition, accidental activation could alter agent behavior, suppress needed skills, or load inappropriate ones for the task.
