Security audit

Decision Engine

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Markdown-only decision-support skill with no hidden code, credential access, persistence, or unsafe execution behavior found.

Safe to install for decision coaching. Be aware that its broad phrases like 'What am I missing?' may cause it to apply decision frameworks in ordinary conversations, so invoke it deliberately when you want structured decision support.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Memory PoisoningPersistent Context Injection, Context Window Stuffing, Memory Manipulation
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger

### Decision Brief YAML Template
```yaml
decision:
  title: "[Clear statement of what we're deciding]"
  type: 1|2|3|4
  owner: "[Person accountable for the decision]"
  deadline: "YYYY-MM-DD"
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The invocation example "Help me decide whether to [your decision]" is a very general natural-language phrase that could easily appear in ordinary conversation outside a narrowly scoped skill context. The README does not provide tighter trigger constraints, alternate exact phrases, or exclusion conditions to distinguish intended activation from incidental use.

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Content
### Examples of Good Policies
- **Hiring**: "If a candidate scores <7/10 on the technical interview, automatic no. No exceptions."
- **Spending**: "Any expense under $500 that's in the approved budget — auto-approve, no meeting needed."
- **Pricing**: "We don't discount more than 15%. If the deal requires more, we walk."
- **Meetings**: "No meeting without an agenda and a decision to be made. Cancel if no agenda 24h before."
- **Technical**: "If we can buy for <3x the cost of building, we buy."
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding
Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill defines very broad natural-language invocation phrases such as 'Help me decide [X]' that can overlap with ordinary conversation. In an agent environment, this can cause unintended activation and execution of the skill in contexts where the user did not explicitly intend to invoke a decision-support workflow, creating prompt-scope confusion and potential data over-collection.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
Several listed commands are generic phrases like 'What am I missing?' or 'Score this decision,' which are common conversational utterances and lack constraints tying them to this skill specifically. This increases the chance of accidental triggering, context hijacking, or applying the decision framework to unrelated conversations without clear user intent.
