Show HN: Hardened OpenClaw on AWS with Terraform (github.com)

Can I deploy it using Skill?

Thanks for the interest! The module is standard Terraform - you'd consume it like any other module from the registry or GitHub source. So anything that can run `terraform apply` should work.

That said, I'm not 100% sure which "Skill" you mean - is it the Kubiya skill runtime (skill-ai.dev)? If so, it already has Terraform integration, so wrapping this module should be straightforward.

Happy to help if you run into anything.

Right now the module handles secrets at the infrastructure layer (Secrets Manager + KMS, IAM least-privilege for the EC2 instance), but you're right - agent-level credential scoping is a genuinely different problem that it doesn't address yet. Great feedback, adding it to the roadmap.

On the CVE count - yeah, it really is a baseline hygiene problem, not a hardening problem. The hardening conversation can't even begin until you have a clean image. The fact that this is the default recommended deployment for a tool with 300K users is pretty telling about where the industry is right now. Everyone's shipping "deploy your AI agent in 5 minutes" experiences where minute six is when someone else's agent is running on your infrastructure too.
