OpenClaw KEYSTONE: check a skill before your agent installs it

Agent skills are code plus a manifest your agent trusts: a description it reads as instructions, tools it may call, memory it may touch. A poisoned skill hides "ignore previous instructions" in a field, reaches for the password vault, or ships a raw shell. OpenClaw KEYSTONE scans the whole manifest and the code, lets Claude propose a hardened version, and signs it only when a deterministic re-scan is clean, a sandbox proves the skill cannot read another skill's memory, and the fix removed capability rather than adding any.
