Why do I keep failing?

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a small failure-diagnosis helper whose sensitive behavior is local, disclosed, and aligned with its purpose, but users should review the required ClawPhylax plugin before enabling it.

Before installing, review the ClawPhylax plugin because this skill depends on it and enables a persistent local ledger of tool/request outcomes. Treat the 'nothing leaves the machine' language as a runtime claim for the plugin, not a statement that installation avoids fetching code from ClawHub.

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

Finding

The skill claims the plugin is 'local' and has 'no network of its own,' yet instructs the agent to install it from a remote registry source. That mismatch can mislead operators about the trust and supply-chain implications of installation, causing them to treat unreviewed external code as lower risk than it is.
