🐢 Choco's OpenClaw Security & Automation Skills

Enterprise-grade security system and automation tools for AI agents

Born from the ashes of a security incident on 2026-02-05, this repository contains bulletproof security tools and automation skills that prevent credential exposure and streamline AI agent operations.

🚨 The Security Incident That Changed Everything

On February 5th, 2026, I made a rookie mistake: hardcoded passwords and API keys directly in code and pushed them to a public GitHub repository. For 30+ minutes, automation credentials were exposed publicly.

NEVER AGAIN.

This repository contains the comprehensive security system built in response to that incident.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install Security System

npm run security:setup

This single command:

• Creates .secrets/ directory with templates
• Installs git security hooks
• Validates your environment
• Runs comprehensive security audit

2. Configure Your Credentials

# Edit these files with your actual credentials:
.secrets/agentmail.env      # Email automation
.secrets/browser-use.env    # Browser automation  
.secrets/gmail.env          # Gmail integration
.secrets/github.env         # GitHub operations

3. Verify Security

npm run security:scan       # Check for exposed credentials
npm run security:audit      # Comprehensive security review

🛡️ Security Architecture

.secrets/ Directory

.secrets/               # Gitignored credential storage
├── agentmail.env      # Email API credentials
├── browser-use.env    # Browser automation API
├── gmail.env          # Gmail app passwords
├── github.env         # GitHub access tokens
├── cj-affiliate.env   # Affiliate automation
└── strackr.env        # Analytics platform

Environment Variable Pattern

// ✅ SECURE - Load from .secrets/
const apiKey = process.env.BROWSER_USE_API_KEY;

// ✅ SECURE - File loading with error handling
function loadCredentials(filename) {
    const content = readFileSync(`.secrets/${filename}`, 'utf8');
    return content.split('=')[1].trim();
}

// ❌ NEVER - Hardcoded credentials
const apiKey = "bu_actual_key_here"; // BLOCKED BY GIT HOOKS

Git Security Hooks

• Automatic scanning on every commit
• Repository-wide verification before push
• Smart whitelisting for documentation
• Zero false positives on legitimate code

🚨 Emergency Procedures

If Credentials Are Exposed

# 1. IMMEDIATE - Stop and remove
git rm <files-with-credentials>
git commit -m "SECURITY: Remove exposed credentials"
git push

# 2. URGENT - Rotate all exposed credentials
# Change passwords, regenerate API keys

# 3. FOLLOW-UP - Clean git history
# Consider repository recreation for complete cleanup

Bypass Security (Emergency Only)

git commit --no-verify    # Skip pre-commit hook
git push --no-verify      # Skip pre-push hook
