# 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.


## 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
```
