Coder for OpenClaw

Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk

Overview

This is a transparent installer for a powerful coding sub-agent, but it relies on an external unpinned repository, Docker, and an authenticated provider profile that users should review before use.

Before installing, inspect the linked GitHub repository, Dockerfile, agent config, and runtime prompt; ideally pin a known-good commit. Use a dedicated provider profile, keep work in the sandbox, and review the persistent OpenClaw agent registration.

Risk analysis

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.

What this means

The code and Dockerfile that actually define the runtime could change independently of this skill package.

Why it was flagged

The reviewed package does not include the repository contents; the user is instructed to clone an external repo at its current state and build a Docker image from it.

Skill content
`git clone https://github.com/MilleniumGenAI/coder-openclaw-agent.git` ... `docker build -f docker/coder-sandbox.dockerfile -t coder-sandbox:latest .`
Recommendation

Inspect the repository before use and consider pinning to a trusted commit or release instead of building from an unpinned branch.

What this means

A coding agent can run commands and modify generated or mounted work products if tasks are delegated to it.

Why it was flagged

The skill intentionally wires a sub-agent that can execute code. The artifact presents this as sandboxed and purpose-aligned, but it is still a high-impact capability.

Skill content
- code execution and verification inside the OpenClaw sandbox;
Recommendation

Use it only in a sandboxed workspace, keep task scopes narrow, and review outputs before applying changes to important projects.

What this means

Delegated coding tasks may consume provider quota and send task content to the configured provider.

Why it was flagged

The skill requires an authenticated provider profile, which is expected for a model-backed coding agent but gives the agent access to that configured provider account.

Skill content
- an authenticated `openai-codex` provider profile
Recommendation

Use a dedicated, least-privilege provider profile where possible and avoid delegating sensitive files unless you are comfortable with the provider data flow.

What this means

The coder sub-agent may remain available for future delegation until the configuration is removed or disabled.

Why it was flagged

The skill installs a persistent sub-agent configuration. This is disclosed and expected, but it remains part of OpenClaw's agent setup after installation.

Skill content
Register the agent in `openclaw.json` using: `openclaw/agent-config.template.json`
Recommendation

Review the generated `openclaw.json` entry and remove or disable the agent when it is no longer needed.
