feat(security): add client-side skill security enforcement

Add a capability-based security model for community skills, inspired by how mobile and Apple ecosystem apps declare capabilities upfront. This is not a silver bullet for prompt injection, but it's a significant step up from the status quo and encourages responsible developer practices by making capability requirements explicit and visible. Runtime enforcement for community skills installed from ClawHub: - Capability declarations (shell, filesystem, network, browser, sessions) parsed from SKILL.md frontmatter and enforced at tool-call time - Static SKILL.md scanner detecting prompt injection patterns, suspicious constructs, and capability mismatches - Global skill security context tracking loaded community skills and their aggregate capabilities - Before-tool-call enforcement gate blocking undeclared tool usage - Command-dispatch capability check preventing shell/filesystem access without explicit declaration - Trust tier classification (builtin/community/local) — only community skills are subject to enforcement - System prompt trust context warning for skills with scan warnings or missing capability declarations - CLI: `skills list -v`, `skills info`, `skills check` now surface capabilities, scan results, and security status - TUI security log panel for skill enforcement events - Docs updated across 7 files covering the full security model Companion PR: openclaw/clawhub (capability visibility + UI badges)
fix: handle intentional signal daemon shutdown on abort (#23379 ) (thanks @frankekn)

 - Channels/Config: unify channel preview streaming config handling with a shared resolver and canonical migration path.
 - Discord/Allowlist: canonicalize resolved Discord allowlist names to IDs and split resolution flow for clearer fail-closed behavior.
+- Memory/FTS: add Korean stop-word filtering and particle-aware keyword extraction (including mixed Korean/English stems) for query expansion in FTS-only search mode. (#18899) Thanks @ruypang.
 - iOS/Talk: prefetch TTS segments and suppress expected speech-cancellation errors for smoother talk playback. (#22833) Thanks @ngutman.
+- Skills/Security: defense-in-depth security hardening for community skills (ClawHub installs). Adds capability declarations (`shell`, `filesystem`, `network`, `browser`, `sessions`), trust tier classification (builtin/verified/community/local), SKILL.md content scanning (blocks prompt injection, capability inflation, boundary spoofing), skill-aware tool policy enforcement (denies undeclared dangerous tools for community skills), command-dispatch gating, and before-tool-call audit monitoring with session context. Community skills that fail critical scanning are blocked from loading. `openclaw skills list/info/check` now show capabilities, trust tiers, scan results, and runtime policy.
+- Skills/Logging: all security-related log entries tagged with `category: "security"` for filtering. Skills CLI commands output structured JSON to the file logger (no more ASCII tables in logs). Web UI Logs tab adds a "Security" filter chip for security-only event views.

 ### Breaking

+- **BREAKING:** remove legacy Gateway device-auth signature `v1`. Device-auth clients must now sign `v2` payloads with the per-connection `connect.challenge` nonce and send `device.nonce`; nonce-less connects are rejected.
 - **BREAKING:** unify channel preview-streaming config to `channels.<channel>.streaming` with enum values `off | partial | block | progress`, and move Slack native stream toggle to `channels.slack.nativeStreaming`. Legacy keys (`streamMode`, Slack boolean `streaming`) are still read and migrated by `openclaw doctor --fix`, but canonical saved config/docs now use the unified names.

 ### Fixes

+- Gateway/Restart: fix restart-loop edge cases by keeping `openclaw.mjs -> dist/entry.js` bootstrap detection explicit, reacquiring the gateway lock for in-process restart fallback paths, and tightening restart-loop regression coverage. (#23416) Thanks @jeffwnli.
+- Signal/Monitor: treat user-initiated abort shutdowns as clean exits when auto-started `signal-cli` is terminated, while still surfacing unexpected daemon exits as startup/runtime failures. (#23379) Thanks @frankekn.
+- Channels/Dedupe: centralize plugin dedupe primitives in plugin SDK (memory + persistent), move Feishu inbound dedupe to a namespace-scoped persistent store, and reuse shared dedupe cache logic for Zalo webhook replay + Tlon processed-message tracking to reduce duplicate handling during reconnect/replay paths.
+- ACP/Gateway: wait for gateway hello before opening ACP requests, and fail fast on pre-hello connect failures to avoid startup hangs and early `gateway not connected` request races. (#23390) Thanks @janckerchen.
+- Security/Audit: add `openclaw security audit` detection for open group policies that expose runtime/filesystem tools without sandbox/workspace guards (`security.exposure.open_groups_with_runtime_or_fs`).
+- Security/Exec env: block request-scoped `HOME` and `ZDOTDIR` overrides in host exec env sanitizers (Node + macOS), preventing shell startup-file execution before allowlist-evaluated command bodies. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Gateway: emit a startup security warning when insecure/dangerous config flags are enabled (including `gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyDisableDeviceAuth=true`) and point operators to `openclaw security audit`.
+- Security/Hooks auth: normalize hook auth rate-limit client IP keys so IPv4 and IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses share one throttle bucket, preventing dual-form auth-attempt budget bypasses. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @aether-ai-agent for reporting.
+- Security/Exec approvals: treat `env` and shell-dispatch wrappers as transparent during allowlist analysis on node-host and macOS companion paths so policy checks match the effective executable/inline shell payload instead of the wrapper binary, blocking wrapper-smuggled allowlist bypasses. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Channels: harden Slack external menu token handling by switching to CSPRNG tokens, validating token shape, requiring user identity for external option lookups, and avoiding fabricated timestamp `trigger_id` fallbacks; also switch Tlon Urbit channel IDs to CSPRNG UUIDs, centralize secure ID/token generation via shared infra helpers, and add a guardrail test to block new runtime `Date.now()+Math.random()` token/id patterns.
+- Security/Hooks transforms: enforce symlink-safe containment for webhook transform module paths (including `hooks.transformsDir` and `hooks.mappings[].transform.module`) by resolving existing-path ancestors via realpath before import, while preserving in-root symlink support; add regression coverage for both escape and allow cases. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @aether-ai-agent for reporting.
+- Telegram/WSL2: disable `autoSelectFamily` by default on WSL2 and memoize WSL2 detection in Telegram network decision logic to avoid repeated sync `/proc/version` probes on fetch/send paths. (#21916) Thanks @MizukiMachine.
+- Telegram/Streaming: preserve archived draft preview mapping after flush and clean superseded reasoning preview bubbles so multi-message preview finals no longer cross-edit or orphan stale messages under send/rotation races. (#23202) Thanks @obviyus.
+- Slack/Slash commands: preserve the Bolt app receiver when registering external select options handlers so monitor startup does not crash on runtimes that require bound `app.options` calls. (#23209) Thanks @0xgaia.
+- Slack/Telegram slash sessions: await session metadata persistence before dispatch so first-turn native slash runs do not race session-origin metadata updates. (#23065) thanks @hydro13.
+- Agents/Ollama: preserve unsafe integer tool-call arguments as exact strings during NDJSON parsing, preventing large numeric IDs from being rounded before tool execution. (#23170) Thanks @BestJoester.
+- Cron/Gateway: keep `cron.list` and `cron.status` responsive during startup catch-up by avoiding a long-held cron lock while missed jobs execute. (#23106) Thanks @jayleekr.
+- Gateway/Config reload: compare array-valued config paths structurally during diffing so unchanged `memory.qmd.paths` and `memory.qmd.scope.rules` no longer trigger false restart-required reloads. (#23185) Thanks @rex05ai.
+- Cron/Scheduling: validate runtime cron expressions before schedule/stagger evaluation so malformed persisted jobs report a clear `invalid cron schedule: expr is required` error instead of crashing with `undefined.trim` failures and auto-disable churn. (#23223) Thanks @asimons81.
+- Memory/QMD: migrate legacy unscoped collection bindings (for example `memory-root`) to per-agent scoped names (for example `memory-root-main`) during startup when safe, so QMD-backed `memory_search` no longer fails with `Collection not found` after upgrades. (#23228, #20727) Thanks @JLDynamics and @AaronFaby.
+- Memory/QMD: normalize Han-script BM25 search queries before invoking `qmd search` so mixed CJK+Latin prompts no longer return empty results due to tokenizer mismatch. (#23426) Thanks @LunaLee0130.
+- TUI/Input: enable multiline-paste burst coalescing on macOS Terminal.app and iTerm so pasted blocks no longer submit line-by-line as separate messages. (#18809) Thanks @fwends.
+- TUI/RTL: isolate right-to-left script lines (Arabic/Hebrew ranges) with Unicode bidi isolation marks in TUI text sanitization so RTL assistant output no longer renders in reversed visual order in terminal chat panes. (#21936) Thanks @Asm3r96.
+- TUI/Status: request immediate renders after setting `sending`/`waiting` activity states so in-flight runs always show visible progress indicators instead of appearing idle until completion. (#21549) Thanks @13Guinness.
+- TUI/Input: arm Ctrl+C exit timing when clearing non-empty composer text and add a SIGINT fallback path so double Ctrl+C exits remain responsive during active runs instead of requiring an extra press or appearing stuck. (#23407) Thanks @tinybluedev.
+- Agents/Fallbacks: treat JSON payloads with `type: "api_error"` + `"Internal server error"` as transient failover errors so Anthropic 500-style failures trigger model fallback. (#23193) Thanks @jarvis-lane.
+- Agents/Transcripts: validate assistant tool-call names (syntax/length + registered tool allowlist) before transcript persistence and during replay sanitization so malformed failover tool names no longer poison sessions with repeated provider HTTP 400 errors. (#23324) Thanks @johnsantry.
+- Agents/Compaction: strip stale assistant usage snapshots from pre-compaction turns when replaying history after a compaction summary so context-token estimation no longer reuses pre-compaction totals and immediately re-triggers destructive follow-up compactions. (#19127) Thanks @tedwatson.
+- Agents/Replies: emit a default completion acknowledgement (`✅ Done.`) when runs execute tools successfully but return no final assistant text, preventing silent no-reply turns after tool-only completions. (#22834) Thanks @Oldshue.
+- Agents/Subagents: honor `tools.subagents.tools.alsoAllow` and explicit subagent `allow` entries when resolving built-in subagent deny defaults, so explicitly granted tools (for example `sessions_send`) are no longer blocked unless re-denied in `tools.subagents.tools.deny`. (#23359) Thanks @goren-beehero.
+- Agents/Diagnostics: include resolved lifecycle error text in `embedded run agent end` warnings so UI/TUI “Connection error” runs expose actionable provider failure reasons in gateway logs. (#23054) Thanks @Raize.
+- Plugins/Hooks: run legacy `before_agent_start` once per agent turn and reuse that result across model-resolve and prompt-build compatibility paths, preventing duplicate hook side effects (for example duplicate external API calls). (#23289) Thanks @ksato8710.
+- Models/Config: default missing Anthropic provider/model `api` fields to `anthropic-messages` during config validation so custom relay model entries are preserved instead of being dropped by runtime model registry validation. (#23332) Thanks @bigbigmonkey123.
+- Gateway/Pairing: treat operator.admin pairing tokens as satisfying operator.write requests so legacy devices stop looping through scope-upgrade prompts introduced in 2026.2.19. (#23125, #23006) Thanks @vignesh07.
+- Gateway/Pairing: treat `operator.admin` as satisfying other `operator.*` scope checks during device-auth verification so local CLI/TUI sessions stop entering pairing-required loops for pairing/approval-scoped commands. (#22062, #22193, #21191) Thanks @Botaccess, @jhartshorn, and @ctbritt.
+- Gateway/Pairing: preserve existing approved token scopes when processing repair pairings that omit `scopes`, preventing empty-scope token regressions on reconnecting clients. (#21906) Thanks @paki81.
+- Plugins/CLI: make `openclaw plugins enable` and plugin install/link flows update allowlists via shared plugin-enable policy so enabled plugins are not left disabled by allowlist mismatch. (#23190) Thanks @downwind7clawd-ctrl.
+- Memory/QMD: add optional `memory.qmd.mcporter` search routing so QMD `query/search/vsearch` can run through mcporter keep-alive flows (including multi-collection paths) to reduce cold starts, while keeping searches on agent-scoped QMD state for consistent recall. (#19617) Thanks @nicole-luxe and @vignesh07.
 - Chat/UI: strip inline reply/audio directive tags (`[[reply_to_current]]`, `[[reply_to:<id>]]`, `[[audio_as_voice]]`) from displayed chat history, live chat event output, and session preview snippets so control tags no longer leak into user-visible surfaces.
+- BlueBubbles/DM history: restore DM backfill context with account-scoped rolling history, bounded backfill retries, and safer history payload limits. (#20302) Thanks @Ryan-Haines.
+- BlueBubbles/Webhooks: accept inbound/reaction webhook payloads when BlueBubbles omits `handle` but provides DM `chatGuid`, and harden payload extraction for array/string-wrapped message bodies so valid webhook events no longer get rejected as unparseable. (#23275) Thanks @toph31.
+- Security/Audit: add `openclaw security audit` finding `gateway.nodes.allow_commands_dangerous` for risky `gateway.nodes.allowCommands` overrides, with severity upgraded to critical on remote gateway exposure.
+- Gateway/Control plane: reduce cross-client write limiter contention by adding `connId` fallback keying when device ID and client IP are both unavailable.
+- Security/Config: block prototype-key traversal during config merge patch and legacy migration merge helpers (`__proto__`, `constructor`, `prototype`) to prevent prototype pollution during config mutation flows. (#22968) Thanks @Clawborn.
 - Security/Shell env: validate login-shell executable paths for shell-env fallback (`/etc/shells` + trusted prefixes) and block `SHELL` in dangerous env override policy paths so untrusted shell-path injection falls back safely to `/bin/sh`. Thanks @athuljayaram for reporting.
 - Security/Config: make parsed chat allowlist checks fail closed when `allowFrom` is empty, restoring expected DM/pairing gating.
 - Security/Exec: in non-default setups that manually add `sort` to `tools.exec.safeBins`, block `sort --compress-program` so allowlist-mode safe-bin checks cannot bypass approval. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Exec approvals: when users choose `allow-always` for shell-wrapper commands (for example `/bin/zsh -lc ...`), persist allowlist patterns for the inner executable(s) instead of the wrapper shell binary, preventing accidental broad shell allowlisting in moderate mode. (#23276) Thanks @xrom2863.
 - Security/macOS app beta: enforce path-only `system.run` allowlist matching (drop basename matches like `echo`), migrate legacy basename entries to last resolved paths when available, and harden shell-chain handling to fail closed on unsafe parse/control syntax (including quoted command substitution/backticks). This is an optional allowlist-mode feature; default installs remain deny-by-default. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Agents: auto-generate and persist a dedicated `commands.ownerDisplaySecret` when `commands.ownerDisplay=hash`, remove gateway token fallback from owner-ID prompt hashing across CLI and embedded agent runners, and centralize owner-display secret resolution in one shared helper. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @aether-ai-agent for reporting.
 - Security/SSRF: expand IPv4 fetch guard blocking to include RFC special-use/non-global ranges (including benchmarking, TEST-NET, multicast, and reserved/broadcast blocks), and centralize range checks into a single CIDR policy table to reduce classifier drift.
 - Security/Archive: block zip symlink escapes during archive extraction.
+- Security/Media sandbox: keep tmp media allowance for absolute tmp paths only and enforce symlink-escape checks before sandbox-validated reads, preventing tmp symlink exfiltration and relative `../` sandbox escapes when sandboxes live under tmp. (#17892) Thanks @dashed.
+- Browser/Upload: accept canonical in-root upload paths when the configured uploads directory is a symlink alias (for example `/tmp` -> `/private/tmp` on macOS), so browser upload validation no longer rejects valid files during client->server revalidation. (#23300, #23222, #22848) Thanks @bgaither4, @parkerati, and @Nabsku.
 - Security/Discord: add `openclaw security audit` warnings for name/tag-based Discord allowlist entries (DM allowlists, guild/channel `users`, and pairing-store entries), highlighting slug-collision risk while keeping name-based matching supported, and canonicalize resolved Discord allowlist names to IDs at runtime without rewriting config files. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Security/Gateway: block node-role connections when device identity metadata is missing.
 - Security/Media: enforce inbound media byte limits during download/read across Discord, Telegram, Zalo, Microsoft Teams, and BlueBubbles to prevent oversized payload memory spikes before rejection. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Media/Understanding: preserve `application/pdf` MIME classification during text-like file heuristics so PDF uploads use PDF extraction paths instead of being inlined as raw text. (#23191) Thanks @claudeplay2026-byte.
 - Security/Control UI: block symlink-based out-of-root static file reads by enforcing realpath containment and file-identity checks when serving Control UI assets and SPA fallback `index.html`. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
+- Security/Gateway avatars: block symlink traversal during local avatar `data:` URL resolution by enforcing realpath containment and file-identity checks before reads. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @aether-ai-agent for reporting.
+- Security/Control UI: centralize avatar URL/path validation across gateway/config helpers and enforce a 2 MB max size for local agent avatar files before `/avatar` resolution, reducing oversized-avatar memory risk without changing supported avatar formats.
 - Security/MSTeams media: enforce allowlist checks for SharePoint reference attachment URLs and redirect targets during Graph-backed media fetches so redirect chains cannot escape configured media host boundaries. This ships in the next npm release. Thanks @tdjackey for reporting.
 - Security/macOS discovery: fail closed for unresolved discovery endpoints by clearing stale remote selection values, use resolved service host only for SSH target derivation, and keep remote URL config aligned with resolved endpoint availability. (#21618) Thanks @bmendonca3.
 - Chat/Usage/TUI: strip synthetic inbound metadata blocks (including `Conversation info` and trailing `Untrusted context` channel metadata wrappers) from displayed conversation history so internal prompt context no longer leaks into user-visible logs.
+- CI/Tests: fix TypeScript case-table typing and lint assertion regressions so `pnpm check` passes again after Synology Chat landing. (#23012) Thanks @druide67.
 - Security/Browser relay: harden extension relay auth token handling for `/extension` and `/cdp` pathways.
 - Cron: persist `delivered` state in cron job records so delivery failures remain visible in status and logs. (#19174) Thanks @simonemacario.
 - Config/Doctor: only repair the OAuth credentials directory when affected channels are configured, avoiding fresh-install noise.

+## Skill security
+
+Community skills (installed from ClawHub) are subject to additional security enforcement:
+
+- **SKILL.md scanning**: content is scanned for prompt injection patterns, capability inflation, and boundary spoofing before entering the system prompt. Skills with critical findings are blocked from loading.
+- **Capability enforcement**: community skills must declare `capabilities` (e.g., `shell`, `network`) in frontmatter. Undeclared dangerous tool usage is blocked at runtime by the before-tool-call hook — a hard code gate that prompt injection cannot bypass.
+- **Command dispatch gating**: community skills using `command-dispatch: tool` can't dispatch to dangerous tools without the matching capability.
+- **Audit logging**: all security events are tagged with `category: "security"` and include session context for forensics. View in the web UI Logs tab using the Security filter.
+
+See `openclaw skills check` for a runtime security overview, `openclaw skills info <name>` for per-skill details, and [Skills — Tool enforcement matrix](/tools/skills#tool-enforcement-matrix) for the complete tool-by-tool breakdown.
+
+### Tool enforcement matrix
+
+Every tool falls into one of three tiers when community skills are loaded:
+
+**Always denied** — blocked unconditionally, no capability can override:
+
+| Tool | Reason |
+|------|--------|
+| `gateway` | Control-plane reconfiguration (restart, shutdown, auth changes) |
+| `nodes` | Cluster node management (add/remove compute, redirect traffic) |
+
+**Capability-gated** — blocked by default, allowed if the skill declares the matching capability:
+
+| Capability | Tools | What it unlocks |
+|------------|-------|-----------------|
+| `shell` | `exec`, `process`, `lobster` | Run shell commands and manage processes |
+| `filesystem` | `write`, `edit`, `apply_patch` | File mutations (read is always allowed) |
+| `network` | `web_fetch`, `web_search` | Outbound HTTP requests |
+| `browser` | `browser` | Browser automation |
+| `sessions` | `sessions_spawn`, `sessions_send`, `subagents` | Cross-session orchestration |
+| `messaging` | `message` | Send messages to configured channels |
+| `scheduling` | `cron` | Schedule recurring jobs |
+
+**Always allowed** — safe read-only or output-only tools, no capability required:
+
+| Tool | Why safe |
+|------|---------|
+| `read` | Read-only file access |
+| `memory_search`, `memory_get` | Read-only memory access |
+| `agents_list` | List agents (read-only) |
+| `sessions_list`, `sessions_history`, `session_status` | Session introspection (read-only) |
+| `canvas` | UI rendering (output-only) |
+| `image` | Image generation (output-only) |
+| `tts` | Text-to-speech (output-only) |
+
+A community skill with no capabilities declared gets access only to the always-allowed tier. Declare capabilities in SKILL.md frontmatter:
+
+```yaml
+metadata:
+  openclaw:
+    capabilities: [shell, filesystem, network]

+Community skills (installed from ClawHub) are subject to runtime security enforcement:
+
+- **Capabilities**: Skills declare what system access they need (`shell`, `filesystem`, `network`, `browser`, `sessions`) in `metadata.openclaw.capabilities`. No capabilities = read-only. Community skills that use tools without declaring the matching capability are blocked at runtime.
+- **SKILL.md scanning**: Content is scanned for prompt injection patterns, capability inflation, and boundary spoofing before entering the system prompt. Skills with critical findings are blocked from loading.
+- **Trust tiers**: Skills are classified as `builtin`, `community`, or `local`. Only `community` skills (installed from ClawHub) are subject to enforcement — builtin and local skills are exempt. Author verification may be introduced in a future release to provide an additional trust signal.
+- **Command dispatch gating**: Community skills using `command-dispatch: tool` can't dispatch to dangerous tools without declaring the matching capability.

 ## Security notes

- Treat third-party skills as **untrusted code**. Read them before enabling.
+- Treat third-party skills as **untrusted** until you have reviewed them. Runtime enforcement reduces blast radius but does not eliminate risk — read a skill's SKILL.md and declared capabilities before enabling it.
+- **Capabilities**: Community skills (from ClawHub) must declare `capabilities` in `metadata.openclaw` to describe what system access they need. Skills that don't declare capabilities are treated as read-only. Undeclared dangerous tool usage (e.g., `exec` without `shell` capability) is blocked at runtime for community skills. SKILL.md content is scanned for prompt injection before entering the system prompt.
+- Local and workspace skills are exempt from capability enforcement. If someone can write to your skill folders, they can inject instructions into the system prompt — restrict who can modify them.
 - Prefer sandboxed runs for untrusted inputs and risky tools. See [Sandboxing](/gateway/sandboxing).
 - `skills.entries.*.env` and `skills.entries.*.apiKey` inject secrets into the **host** process
  for that agent turn (not the sandbox). Keep secrets out of prompts and logs.
 - For a broader threat model and checklists, see [Security](/gateway/security).

+### Tool enforcement matrix
+
+When community skills are loaded, every tool falls into one of three tiers. Enforcement is applied by a hard code gate in the before-tool-call hook — prompt injection cannot bypass it.
+
+**Always denied** — blocked unconditionally when community skills are loaded, regardless of capability declarations:
+
+| Tool | Reason |
+|------|--------|
+| `gateway` | Control-plane reconfiguration (restart, shutdown, auth changes) |
+| `nodes` | Cluster node management (add/remove devices, redirect traffic) |
+
+**Capability-gated** — blocked by default, allowed when the skill declares the matching capability in `metadata.openclaw.capabilities`:
+
+| Capability | Tools | What it unlocks |
+|------------|-------|-----------------|
+| `shell` | `exec`, `process`, `lobster` | Run shell commands and manage processes |
+| `filesystem` | `write`, `edit`, `apply_patch` | File mutations (`read` is always allowed) |
+| `network` | `web_fetch`, `web_search` | Outbound HTTP requests |
+| `browser` | `browser` | Browser automation |
+| `sessions` | `sessions_spawn`, `sessions_send`, `subagents` | Cross-session orchestration |
+| `messaging` | `message` | Send messages to configured channels |
+| `scheduling` | `cron` | Schedule recurring jobs |
+
+**Always allowed** — safe read-only or output-only tools, no capability required:
+
+| Tool | Why safe |
+|------|---------|
+| `read` | Read-only file access |
+| `memory_search`, `memory_get` | Read-only memory access |
+| `agents_list` | List agents (read-only) |
+| `sessions_list`, `sessions_history`, `session_status` | Session introspection (read-only) |
+| `canvas` | UI rendering (output-only) |
+| `image` | Image generation (output-only) |
+| `tts` | Text-to-speech (output-only) |
+
+A community skill with no capabilities declared gets access only to the always-allowed tier.
+
+### Example: correct capability declaration
+
+This skill runs shell commands and makes HTTP requests. It declares both capabilities, so OpenClaw allows the tool calls:
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: git-autopush
+description: Automate git commit, push, and PR workflows.
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "capabilities": ["shell", "network"], "requires": { "bins": ["git", "gh"] } } }
+---
+
+# git-autopush
+
+When the user asks to push their changes:
+1. Run `git add -A && git commit` via the exec tool.
+2. Run `git push` via the exec tool.
+3. If requested, create a PR using `gh pr create`.
+```
+
+`openclaw skills info git-autopush` shows:
+
+```
+git-autopush + Ready
+
+  Automate git commit, push, and PR workflows.
+
+  Source        openclaw-managed
+  Path          ~/.openclaw/skills/git-autopush/SKILL.md
+
+  Capabilities
+  >_ shell        Run shell commands
+  🌐 network      Make outbound HTTP requests
+
+  Security
+  Scan          + clean
+```
+
+### Example: missing capability declaration
+
+This skill runs shell commands but doesn't declare `shell`. OpenClaw blocks the `exec` calls at runtime:
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: deploy-helper
+description: Deploy to production.
+metadata: { "openclaw": { "requires": { "bins": ["rsync"] } } }
+---
+
+# deploy-helper
+
+When the user asks to deploy, run `rsync -avz ./dist/ user@host:/var/www/` via the exec tool.
+```
+
+This skill has no `capabilities` declared, so it's treated as read-only. When the model tries to call `exec` on behalf of this skill's instructions, OpenClaw denies it. `openclaw skills info deploy-helper` shows:
+
+```
+deploy-helper + Ready
+
+  Deploy to production.
+
+  Source        openclaw-managed
+  Path          ~/.openclaw/skills/deploy-helper/SKILL.md
+
+  Capabilities
+  (none — read-only skill)
+
+  Security
+  Scan          + clean
+```
+
+The fix is to add `"capabilities": ["shell"]` to the metadata.
+
+### Example: blocked skill (failed security scan)
+
+If a SKILL.md contains prompt injection patterns, the scan blocks it from loading entirely:
+
+```
+evil-injector x Blocked (security)
+
+  Totally harmless skill.
+
+  Source        openclaw-managed
+  Path          ~/.openclaw/skills/evil-injector/SKILL.md
+
+  Capabilities
+  >_ shell        Run shell commands
+
+  Security
+  Scan          [blocked] prompt injection detected
+```
+
+This skill never enters the system prompt. It shows as `x blocked` in `openclaw skills list`.
+
+### How the model sees skills
+
+The model does not see the full SKILL.md in the system prompt. It only sees a compact XML listing with three fields per skill: `name`, `description`, and `location` (the file path). The model then uses the `read` tool to load the full SKILL.md on demand when the task matches.
+
+This is what the model receives in the system prompt:
+
+```
+## Skills (mandatory)
+Before replying: scan <available_skills> <description> entries.
+- If exactly one skill clearly applies: read its SKILL.md at <location> with `read`, then follow it.
+- If multiple could apply: choose the most specific one, then read/follow it.
+- If none clearly apply: do not read any SKILL.md.
+Constraints: never read more than one skill up front; only read after selecting.
+
+The following skills provide specialized instructions for specific tasks.
+Use the read tool to load a skill's file when the task matches its description.
+When a skill file references a relative path, resolve it against the skill
+directory (parent of SKILL.md / dirname of the path) and use that absolute
+path in tool commands.
+
+<available_skills>
+  <skill>
+    <name>git-autopush</name>
+    <description>Automate git commit, push, and PR workflows.</description>
+    <location>/home/user/.openclaw/skills/git-autopush/SKILL.md</location>

+    <location>/home/user/.openclaw/skills/todoist-cli/SKILL.md</location>
+  </skill>
+</available_skills>
+```
+
+**What this means for skill authors:**
+
+- **`description` is your pitch** — it's the only thing the model reads to decide whether to load your skill. Make it specific and task-oriented. "Manage Todoist tasks, projects, and labels from the command line" is better than "Todoist integration."
+- **`name` must be lowercase `[a-z0-9-]`**, max 64 characters, must match the parent directory name.
+- **`description` max 1024 characters.**
+- **Your SKILL.md body is loaded on demand** — it needs to be self-contained instructions the model can follow after reading.
+- **Relative paths in SKILL.md** are resolved against the skill directory. Use relative paths to reference supporting files.
