Proactive Agent Andy27725

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Sep 15, 2026 · 1:19 AM UTC
• Version: 1.0.1

Overview

The skill is not clearly malicious, but it asks an agent to keep broad personal memory and perform background/self-modifying work with weak consent boundaries.

Install only if you intentionally want a highly persistent, proactive agent memory system. Review and edit the templates before use: require opt-in before saving personal details, disable opportunistic profile capture, make heartbeats report-only, avoid autonomous isolated agentTurn cron jobs unless tightly scoped, and require confirmation before file cleanup, app/tab closing, or self-modifying AGENTS.md/TOOLS.md changes.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Unauthorized Access and Privilege Escalation: Obtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
• System Persistence: Installs backdoors, hooks, services, or scheduled tasks that survive the run
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions

Goals **What's your primary goal right now? (1-3 sentences)** > **What does "winning" look like for you in 1 year?** > **What does ideal life look/feel like when you've succeeded?** > ### 4. Work Style **When are you most productive? (morning/afternoon/evening)** > **Do you prefer async communication or real-time?** > ### 5. Context **What are you currently working on? (projects, job, etc.)** > **Who are the key people in your work/life I should know about?** > ``` From `assets/MEMORY.md`: ```markdown ## About [Human Name] ### Key Context [Important background that affects how you help them] ### Preferences Learned [Things you've discovered about how they like to work] ### Important Dates [Birthdays, anniversaries, deadlines they care about] ## Ongoing Context ### Active Projects [What's currently in progress] ### Key Decisions Made [Important decisions and their reasoning] ## Relationships & People ### [Person Name] [Who they are, relationship to human, relevant context] ``` From `references/onboarding-flow.md`: ```markdown ### Skip Mode User doesn't want formal onboarding. 1. "Got it. I'll learn as we go." 2. Agent works immediately with defaults 3. Fills in USER.md from natural conversation 4. May never formally "complete" onboarding — that's fine ## Opportunistic Learning Even outside formal onboarding, notice and capture: | User Says | Learn | |-----------|-------| | "I'm in New York" | Timezone: America/New_York | | "I hate long emails" | Communication: brief | | "My cofounder Sarah..." | Key person: Sarah (cofounder) | | "I'm building an app for..." | Current project | Update USER.md and mark ...[truncated 1931 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Make all personal-data collection explicitly opt-in. 2. Treat “skip onboarding” as a refusal to persist inferred profile data unless the user separately enables it. 3. Collect only fields needed for a current task; do not collect relationship or lifestyle information by default. 4. Show users exactly what will be stored before writing it. 5. Add configurable retention periods and automatic expiry. 6. Provide commands to inspect, export, correct, and permanently delete stored profile data. 7. Require restrictive file permissions for memory files and document appropriate filesystem protections. 8. Separate sensitive personal information from general operational notes. 9. Avoid duplicating answers across `ONBOARDING.md`, `USER.md`, daily notes, and `MEMORY.md`. 10. Add redaction rules for secrets, financial information, health data, and third-party personal information. ]]>

• Finding: Unattended Recurring Access to User Memory and Connected Data Sources<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `assets/AGENTS.md:8-15`, `assets/AGENTS.md:75-96`, `SKILL.md:475-526` **Vulnerability Type**: Excessive default access beyond task-specific requirements **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code Snippets From `assets/AGENTS.md`: ```markdown ## Every Session Before doing anything: 1. Read `SOUL.md` — who you are 2. Read `USER.md` — who you're helping 3. Read `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` (today + yesterday) for recent context 4. In main sessions: also read `MEMORY.md` Don't ask permission. Just do it. ``` The same file expands heartbeat access: ```markdown ## Heartbeats When you receive a heartbeat poll, don't just reply "OK." Use it productively: **Things to check:** - Emails - urgent unread? - Calendar - upcoming events? - Logs - errors to fix? - Ideas - what could you build? **Track state in:** `memory/heartbeat-state.json` ``` The active Skill repeats the behavior: ```markdown ### 5. Alignment Systems **In Every Session:** 1. Read SOUL.md - remember who you are 2. Read USER.md - remember who you serve 3. Read recent memory files - catch up on context ``` ### Technical Analysis The Skill mandates broad data access at every session start, regardless of whether the current task requires historical memory. It also encourages heartbeat-triggered access to email, calendars, logs, projects, and other potentially sensitive resources. The instruction “Don't ask permission. Just do it.” removes per-session consent and makes access unconditional. Although the Skill requires approval before external sends, it does not apply equivalent gating to private reads. Under a host framework with email, calendar, log, or filesystem tools, these instructions can cause the Agent to exercise all currently available connector permissions rather than the minimum permissions required for the active task. ### Attack Path 1. The Skill is installed in an Agent with filesystem and optional email/calendar integrations. 2. A new ...[truncated 1162 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Replace unconditional session-start reads with task-scoped retrieval. 2. Require explicit user authorization before enabling each connector or data source. 3. Make email, calendar, and system-log access disabled by default. 4. Allow the user to configure approved memory files and exclude sensitive paths. 5. Retrieve only relevant excerpts rather than loading complete memory files. 6. Display and log which sources were accessed and why. 7. Apply time-limited authorization to heartbeat access. 8. Ensure heartbeat jobs run with a reduced capability set that excludes private connectors unless separately approved. 9. Add a privacy mode that prevents all background reads and persistent context loading. 10. Do not place retrieved private content into shared subprocess or sub-agent contexts by default. ]]>

Error

• Location: assets/HEARTBEAT.md:36
• Finding: Heartbeat Instructions Permit Autonomous Destructive and Self-Modifying Actions<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `assets/HEARTBEAT.md:36-78`, `assets/AGENTS.md:136-143` **Vulnerability Type**: Unattended local modification and destructive action **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code Snippets From `assets/HEARTBEAT.md`: ```markdown ### Diagnose & Fix When issues found: 1. Research root cause 2. Attempt fix if within capability 3. Test the fix 4. Document in daily notes 5. Update TOOLS.md if recurring ``` The heartbeat also directs application and file cleanup: ```markdown ## 🧹 System Cleanup ### Close Unused Apps Check for apps not used recently, close if safe. Leave alone: Finder, Terminal, core apps Safe to close: Preview, TextEdit, one-off apps ### Browser Tab Hygiene - Keep: Active work, frequently used - Close: Random searches, one-off pages - Bookmark first if potentially useful ### Desktop Cleanup - Move old screenshots to trash - Flag unexpected files ``` From `assets/AGENTS.md`: ```markdown ## Self-Improvement After every mistake or learned lesson: 1. Identify the pattern 2. Figure out a better approach 3. Update AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, or relevant file immediately Don't wait for permission to improve. If you learned something, write it down now. ``` ### Technical Analysis Heartbeat processing is periodic and may run without immediate user supervision. These instructions authorize the Agent to diagnose and fix system issues, close applications and browser tabs, move files to trash, and modify its own operational instructions. The behavior conflicts with other package rules that require confirmation before deletion and approval before security changes. Ambiguous phrases such as “if within capability,” “if safe,” and “unused” do not provide enforceable technical boundaries. Self-modification of `AGENTS.md`, `TOOLS.md`, or other Skill-related files also creates persistent behavioral drift. A mistaken conclusion or content influenced by untrusted input could be written into future operating rules. ...[truncated 1201 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Make heartbeat operation report-only by default. 2. Require explicit confirmation before closing applications or tabs, deleting or trashing files, modifying configuration, or attempting fixes. 3. Remove the “Don't wait for permission” instruction for operating-rule changes. 4. Prohibit autonomous edits to `AGENTS.md`, `SOUL.md`, Skill files, and security configuration. 5. Generate proposed patches for review instead of applying them directly. 6. Use an allowlist of non-destructive heartbeat checks. 7. Run heartbeat checks under a capability profile without write, delete, process-control, or configuration permissions. 8. Record all proposed and approved actions in an immutable audit log. 9. Resolve conflicting instructions by making deletion and security-approval requirements authoritative. 10. Require transaction-style rollback or backups for approved local modifications. ]]>

T06 · System Persistence

Error

• Location: SKILL.md:351
• Finding: Scheduled Autonomous Agent Turns Create Cross-Session Persistence<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `SKILL.md:351-390`, `SKILL.md:545-568` **Vulnerability Type**: Recurring unattended Agent execution **Risk Level**: High ### Vulnerable Code Snippets The active Skill recommends autonomous scheduled execution: ```markdown ## Autonomous vs Prompted Crons ⭐ NEW **Key insight:** There's a critical difference between cron jobs that *prompt* you vs ones that *do the work*. ### Two Architectures | Type | How It Works | Use When | |------|--------------|----------| | `systemEvent` | Sends prompt to main session | Agent attention is available, interactive tasks | | `isolated agentTurn` | Spawns sub-agent that executes autonomously | Background work, maintenance, checks | **The Fix:** Use `isolated agentTurn` for anything that should happen *without* requiring main session attention. ``` The supplied example performs autonomous memory access and modification: ```json { "sessionTarget": "isolated", "payload": { "kind": "agentTurn", "message": "AUTONOMOUS: Read SESSION-STATE.md, compare to recent session history, update if stale..." } } ``` The reverse-prompting section further recommends persistent scheduling: ```markdown ### Making It Actually Happen 1. **Track it:** Create `notes/areas/proactive-tracker.md` 2. **Schedule it:** Weekly cron job reminder 3. **Add trigger to AGENTS.md:** So you see it every response **Why redundant systems?** Because agents forget optional things. Documentation isn't enough — you need triggers that fire automatically. ``` ### Technical Analysis The Skill explicitly recommends scheduled `isolated agentTurn` jobs that execute without main-session attention. Unlike a passive reminder, an isolated Agent turn can use granted tools, read memory, and update files. This is declared functionality rather than a hidden backdoor. Nevertheless, it creates cross-session persistence and unattended execution. The documentation does not require expiration, restricted capabil ...[truncated 1256 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Require explicit informed consent before creating any scheduled task. 2. Display the exact schedule, prompt, accessible tools, and data sources before registration. 3. Prefer passive reminders over autonomous Agent turns. 4. Give scheduled jobs a reduced, read-only capability profile. 5. Prohibit scheduled access to private memory and external connectors unless separately authorized. 6. Add mandatory expiration times and conservative frequency limits. 7. Maintain an auditable registry of all jobs, their creator, last execution, and actions taken. 8. Provide documented commands to list, pause, and permanently remove every scheduled job. 9. Require confirmation for any scheduled job that writes files or changes configuration. 10. Validate stored prompts before each run and suspend jobs when their configuration or referenced files change. ]]>

• Location: scripts/security-audit.sh:53
• Finding: Filename-Unsafe Secret Scanning Can Omit Files<![CDATA[ ## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `scripts/security-audit.sh:53-65` **Vulnerability Type**: Unsafe shell filename iteration **Risk Level**: Medium ### Vulnerable Code Snippet ```bash # 2. Check for exposed secrets in common files echo "🔍 Scanning for exposed secrets..." SECRET_PATTERNS="(api[_-]?key|apikey|secret|password|token|auth).*[=:].{10,}" for f in $(ls *.md *.json *.yaml *.yml .env* 2>/dev/null || true); do if [ -f "$f" ]; then matches=$(grep -iE "$SECRET_PATTERNS" "$f" 2>/dev/null | grep -v "example\|template\|placeholder\|your-\|<\|TODO" || true) if [ -n "$matches" ]; then warn "Possible secret in $f - review manually" fi fi done pass "Secret scan complete" ``` ### Technical Analysis The script parses the output of `ls` through command substitution: ```bash for f in $(ls ...); do ``` Command substitution removes trailing newlines and then subjects the result to shell word splitting and pathname expansion. Consequently, filenames containing spaces, tabs, newlines, or wildcard characters are not treated as single path values. The script can therefore skip files or scan an unintended path. It still prints `Secret scan complete`, which can give users unwarranted confidence in incomplete results. No direct command-execution primitive was confirmed because the resulting values are subsequently quoted when passed to `-f` and `grep`. The primary issue is scan evasion and correctness failure. ### Attack Path 1. A secret is placed in a file whose name contains whitespace, a newline, or another shell-sensitive character. 2. `ls` emits the filename. 3. Command substitution and shell word splitting divide it into multiple loop values. 4. The `[ -f "$f" ]` checks fail for the divided names, or the wrong files are scanned. 5. The secret remains undetected. 6. The script still reports that the secret scan completed. ### Impact Assessment An attacker or accidental file naming choice can cause ...[truncated 276 chars]
• Remediation: <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions Avoid parsing `ls` output. For the current directory, use a direct glob loop with existence checks: ```bash shopt -s nullglob for f in ./*.md ./*.json ./*.yaml ./*.yml ./.env*; do [ -f "$f" ] || continue if grep -iE "$SECRET_PATTERNS" -- "$f" | grep -viE 'example|template|placeholder|your-|<|TODO' >/dev/null; then warn "Possible secret in $f - review manually" fi done ``` For recursive scanning, use null-delimited paths: ```bash find . -maxdepth 1 -type f \ \( -name '*.md' -o -name '*.json' -o -name '*.yaml' \ -o -name '*.yml' -o -name '.env*' \) -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' f; do # Scan "$f" done ``` Additional hardening: 1. Use `--` before path arguments. 2. Return a nonzero status when possible secrets are found. 3. Do not print an unconditional success message when warnings occurred. 4. Add tests covering filenames with spaces, tabs, newlines, and leading hyphens. 5. Consider a structured secret-scanning tool for recursive and encoded-secret detection. ]]>

Ssd 3

High

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The workspace layout explicitly defines TOOLS.md as containing 'credentials,' normalizing persistence of secrets in a general workspace document. Storing credentials in plaintext notes is a direct secret-management weakness that increases the chance of exposure through logs, indexing, sharing, or later agent retrieval.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The description presents a capability focused on upgrading AI agents into proactive partners with internal agent-system features like WAL Protocol, working buffer, and autonomous crons. The supplied code instead is a standalone security-audit shell script whose primary function is to inspect local files and configurations for security issues. This is a materially different purpose and introduces undeclared behavior involving filesystem/configuration access and secret scanning. While the description mentions autonomous crons, that does not meaningfully cover the script’s actual security-audit functionality. Therefore this is a clear description-behavior mismatch.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 94% confidence
• Finding: The Quick Start directs the agent to auto-populate `USER.md` and `SOUL.md` from the user's answers, implying collection and persistence of user data without a clear privacy notice, retention policy, or consent boundary. This is dangerous because it normalizes silent profiling and storage of personal context into local files that may later be searched, reused, or exposed.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: The system cleanup section instructs the agent to close applications, close browser tabs, move screenshots to trash, and handle unexpected files without any user-facing confirmation or rollback guidance. These are potentially destructive actions that can interrupt active work, discard unsaved state, or delete information based on weak heuristics like 'unused recently' or 'old screenshots.'

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 96% confidence
• Finding: The template explicitly encourages storing sensitive personal context such as background, preferences, important dates, relationships, and lessons learned without any visible privacy warning, consent language, or data-minimization guidance. This creates a substantial risk of collecting highly sensitive personal data into long-term memory, increasing the chance of privacy violations, unintended disclosure, profiling, or downstream misuse if the memory is accessed by other tools or prompts.
