+# Daily ClawHub registry sweep.
+#
+# Runs `malwar crawl monitor` once a day: crawls the whole registry, fast-scans
+# every skill (escalating flagged ones to the LLM), diffs against the previous
+# snapshot, and commits the new snapshot + diff to the `registry-monitor` branch
+# so `git log -p registry-monitor` is a permanent, auditable record of what
+# changed day over day.
+#
+# Why a dedicated branch and not `main`? `main` is protected (PR + required
+# checks), so a scheduled bot cannot push to it. The snapshot history therefore
+# lives on its own long-running `registry-monitor` branch, created automatically
+# on the first run.
+#
+# The LLM escalation needs an Anthropic API key. Add it as a *repository* secret
+# named MALWAR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Settings -> Secrets and variables -> Actions ->
+# New repository secret). Without it the sweep still runs on the rule engine +
+# threat intel; only the LLM second opinion on flagged skills is skipped.
