Setup Doctor

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

Setup Doctor is a disclosed local troubleshooting skill that runs scoped OpenClaw setup checks and requires confirmation before making fixes.

Install this if you want a local OpenClaw setup checker. Expect it to run basic diagnostic commands when troubleshooting setup errors, review any proposed fix before approving it, and assess the separately advertised companion skills on their own before installing the full suite.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The auto-detection triggers are broad phrases like setup issues, unexpected errors, or generic statements such as 'doesn't work', which can cause the skill to run in many ordinary conversations without an explicit invocation. That increases the chance of unintended command execution and local environment probing when the user did not clearly request diagnostics.
