What should I check before installing openclaw?
Sato Hub's record for OpenClaw documents npm install openclaw, an install it has not reproduced, and activity on 2026-09-13. No security review was performed, as of 2026-09-13.
Every reading Sato Hub holds for OpenClaw, with the field it came from. These are the same checks /preflight runs live against a package name — nothing here describes the package's behaviour once it runs.
| Check | Reading | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Documented install | npm install openclaw | the project's own deploy spec on its Sato Hub record |
| Install reproduced by Sato Hub | no | container run of that install line |
| Last public activity observed | 2026-09-13 | release and commit feeds |
| Liveness label | Active | derived from the activity dates |
| Source availability | Yes | declared licence and repository |
| Sato Score | 84 (High) | openness, activity, verifiability |
| Verification status | Verified | self-reported unless an earned check is named |
| What Sato Hub has NOT done | no security review, no dependency audit, no runtime analysis | stated so it is never inferred |
How this was answered
Every reading on the "openclaw" record — the documented install line, whether Sato Hub reproduced it in a container, activity, openness and score — laid out as the checks lib/preflight.ts runs live. It names what was NOT done as explicitly as what was.
Every answer on this page is produced by one named function over Sato Hub's live records on the date shown. Nothing is typed by hand, no figure is carried over from a previous day, and an answer with nothing behind it says unknown rather than zero. The Sato Score measures how open, active and verifiable a project is — it is not a safety, quality or returns grade.
