shutdown
PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 11, 2026.
Overview
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: shutdown Version: 1.0.0 The 'shutdown' skill bundle provides a structured and safety-oriented workflow for system power management (shutdown and reboot) across Linux, macOS, and Windows. The instructions in SKILL.md explicitly mandate user confirmation, pre-execution system checks (using commands like 'who' and 'uptime'), and the use of delayed shutdown timers to prevent accidental or unauthorized system termination. No indicators of data exfiltration, malicious intent, or hidden functionality were found; the skill's capabilities are transparent and strictly aligned with its stated administrative purpose.
Findings (0)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
If the user confirms the wrong target or timing, active sessions and running work could be interrupted.
The skill documents commands that can power off or reboot systems, but it explicitly requires user confirmation before running them.
Never run power actions without explicit user confirmation. ... # shutdown now sudo shutdown -h now ... shutdown /s /t 0
Before approving, verify the exact machine, command, timing, and cancellation path; prefer a delayed shutdown when possible.
Granting elevation allows the command to affect the whole machine, not just the current application.
Shutdown and reboot operations may require administrator privileges, and the skill tells the agent to request approval rather than silently escalating.
sudo shutdown -h now ... sudo systemctl poweroff ... If insufficient privileges, report exact permission error and request elevation approval.
Only provide administrator approval when you are certain the requested shutdown or reboot is intended.
