NanoClaw Traffic Guardian

This is a baseline specification skill. It intentionally does not ship a proxy or runtime implementation yet.

Vercel Skills Installation

Install with the Vercel Skills CLI for this harness:

npx skills add prompt-security/clawsec --skill nanoclaw-traffic-guardian -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.

Scope

Builders should use this skill as the NanoClaw landing zone for runtime traffic monitoring:

• host-side HTTP proxy inspection
• optional HTTPS inspection with host-held CA material
• outbound exfiltration detection
• inbound injection detection
• redacted local threat logs
• MCP tools for status, findings, and config checks
• IPC handlers for container-safe host communication

Prefer this as an optional companion to clawsec-nanoclaw, not as a mandatory extension of the existing advisory/signature/integrity suite.

Safety Contract

• Opt-in only.
• Detect-and-log by default.
• No automatic system CA installation.
• No CA private key access from the container.
• No blocking in the first implementation.
• Redact secrets before logs or MCP responses.
• Keep all state under NANOCLAW_TRAFFIC_GUARDIAN_HOME or the host-managed NanoClaw security data directory.

Builder Entry Points

Read SPEC.md before implementing. Use the placeholder folders as follows:

Path	Intended use
lib/	Detector rules, redaction, types, report formatting
host-services/	Host-side proxy lifecycle, log access, IPC handlers
mcp-tools/	Container-side MCP tools for status and findings
test/	Unit tests, host/container IPC tests, redaction tests

Required First Implementation Behavior

1. Validate config without starting the proxy.
2. Start monitor through a host-managed lifecycle path.
3. Keep CA key material on the host side.
4. Inspect HTTP request/response text up to a bounded byte limit.
5. Support optional HTTPS MITM only when the operator supplies per-runtime trust configuration.
6. Emit JSONL findings with redacted snippets.
7. Expose MCP tools that return status and redacted findings only.

Out of Scope for v0.0.1 Implementation

• automatic system trust-store mutation
• transparent network interception
• default blocking
• sending traffic to external services
• exposing raw request/response bodies to the container
