# Picoclaw Posture Review (separate package)
Purpose: keep Picoclaw posture-review checks isolated from the broader guardian package so moderation-sensitive checks can be versioned/published independently.
## Vercel Skills Installation
Install with the Vercel Skills CLI for this harness:
```bash
npx skills add prompt-security/clawsec --skill picoclaw-self-pen-testing -a openclaw -y
```
## Release Artifact Verification
For standalone installs, verify the signed release manifest before trusting `SKILL.md`, `skill.json`, or the archive. The `skill.json` file is the package metadata/SBOM source, and the release pipeline signs `checksums.json` with the ClawSec release key.
```bash
set -euo pipefail

Only install or extract the archive after this verification succeeds.
## Scope
This skill only performs local, read-only posture-review analysis against an existing Picoclaw posture profile.
It flags:
- public Web UI exposure
- disabled UI auth
- unrestricted workspace/tooling
- unsigned verification mode
- MCP trust-boundary review needs
- scheduler persistence review
- plaintext secret markers
- multi-channel auth review
## Usage
```bash
node scripts/self_pen_test.mjs --profile ~/.picoclaw/security/clawsec/current-profile.json
```
## Validation
```bash
python utils/validate_skill.py skills/picoclaw-self-pen-testing
node skills/picoclaw-self-pen-testing/test/self_pen_test.test.mjs
```
