Persistence & Privilege

Assessment

This skill is instruction-only and internally consistent with its educational purpose, which makes it low risk from a security/credential perspective. Before installing, consider: 1) Confirm whether the referenced "Official IB Guide" PDF should be included and where it comes from (to avoid missing or untrusted attachments). 2) Review the text of the included reference files for any copyrighted IB exam content you are not permitted to distribute. 3) If you will supply student data to the agent when using this skill, avoid sending personally identifiable information or exam answers to external systems. 4) Because instruction-only skills run with the agent's normal invocation rights, only enable it if you trust the content; there are no hidden network calls or credential requests in the files provided.
