How to install Guard Scanner

  2. Open the in-app Skills panel.

How to use Guard Scanner

Once installed, Guard Scanner activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

  1. Click the Download .zip button above to grab guard-scanner-latest.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
  2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/guard-scanner/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
