What DeadClaw does

DeadClaw instantly stops OpenClaw agents, sessions, Docker containers, and scheduled jobs when an emergency stop is triggered. It also runs a watchdog that can auto-kill runaway agents, excessive token use, unauthorized network calls, or out-of-bounds writes.

DeadClaw is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. DeadClaw comes from a repository tagged claude-code, codex, openclaw, security and skill-scanner.

Excerpt

DeadClaw — Emergency Kill Switch for OpenClaw Agents

"One tap. Everything stops."

DeadClaw is a single-purpose emergency kill switch. When triggered, it immediately halts all running OpenClaw agent processes, stops Docker containers, pauses all scheduled cron jobs and heartbeats, kills all active sessions, and writes a timestamped incident log. It then confirms back to whichever surface triggered it.

Works with both native OpenClaw installs and Docker-based deployments (Hostinger VPS, etc.). Auto-detects your setup.
