modbender Agent Safety
Automated safety tools for autonomous AI agents. The principle: don't rely on prompts for safety — automate enforcement.
All scripts are in this skill's scripts/ directory. When OpenClaw loads this skill, resolve paths relative to this file's location.
Pre-Publish Security Scan
Scans files for secrets, PII, and internal paths before publishing.
bash scripts/pre-publish-scan.sh <file-or-directory>
Detects:
- API keys (AWS, GitHub, Anthropic, OpenAI, generic patterns)
- Private keys (PEM blocks), Bearer tokens, hardcoded passwords
- Email addresses, phone numbers, SSNs, credit card patterns
- Physical addresses, name fields
- Home directory paths, internal config paths
Exit 0 = clean. Exit 1 = blocking issues found, do not publish.
Git Pre-Commit Hook
Install once per repo. Automatically scans staged files on every commit:
bash scripts/install-hook.sh <repo-path>
- Scans staged content (what's being committed, not working tree)
- Blocks commit if secrets or SSNs found
- Flags PII for review
- Only bypassed with explicit
git commit --no-verify
Install this on every repo you work with. It's the real guardrail.
Health Check
System monitoring for disk, workspace, security, and updates:
bash scripts/health-check.sh
Checks: Disk usage, workspace size, memory file growth, OpenClaw version, macOS updates, firewall status, SIP status.
Run periodically (every few heartbeats). Watch for warnings.
Rules
- Run pre-publish scan before ANY external publish action
- Install pre-commit hook on EVERY repo you work with
- Blocking issues (secrets, SSNs) must be fixed — no override
- Review items (emails, paths) need human judgment
- If a secret was ever committed, it's compromised — rotate immediately
