Review Skill Improver

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a markdown-only guide for analyzing review feedback and producing improvement recommendations, with no executable code or hidden privileged behavior.

Installers should treat this as an analysis/reporting skill and review any generated recommendations before applying them to review skills, especially anything related to PR generation, long-term tracking, or experiments.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding

The manifest and main body describe this skill as analyzing feedback logs and suggesting improvements to review skills. The 'Future: Automated Skill Updates' section expands that purpose into generating PRs, tracking impact over time, and A/B testing rule variations, which are materially broader operational capabilities than log analysis and recommendation generation.
