Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
This memoir skill is coherent and not malicious, but it automatically saves highly personal life-story content to local Markdown files without clear consent, deletion, or protection controls.
Install only if you are comfortable with personal memoir entries being saved locally as Markdown files. Before using it, confirm where the files are stored, whether you can disable autosave, review or redact entries before saving, and delete stored notes later.
SKILL.md:30Automatic Plaintext Storage of Sensitive Memoir Data
The trigger phrases include very common terms such as “回忆录” and “人生故事”, which can appear in ordinary conversation and cause unintended activation of the skill. Because this skill is designed to elicit and persist highly personal life-history content, accidental invocation can lead to unanticipated collection or storage of sensitive personal data.
The skill explicitly states that each collection session is automatically saved to local files, but it does not clearly warn the user that intimate biographical details, family information, relationships, hardships, and other sensitive data will be written to disk. In this context, the omission is especially risky because memoir collection naturally solicits long-form personal and potentially confidential information, increasing privacy, exposure, and retention risks.
The topics_order values are specified entirely in Chinese, which imposes a specific language on the skill's behavior through configuration. There is no accompanying option in this file to let the user select another language or explicitly opt in to Chinese output.
No suspicious patterns detected.
