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.

Why DeadClaw Exists

The ClawHavoc attack (February 2026) exposed 1,184 malicious skills in the OpenClaw ecosystem. People run agents autonomously — often overnight, often unattended. When something goes wrong, you need a way to stop everything from wherever you are, even from your phone. DeadClaw is that way.
