Architecture Decision Record Drafter

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a Markdown-only ADR drafting skill whose instructions are coherent, user-guided, and scoped to producing architecture decision records.

Before installing, note that ADRs can contain confidential architecture, vendor, pricing, or security details; this skill appropriately tells the agent not to publish them externally and to treat sensitive inputs as confidential.

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

### Step 7: Self-Review Before Finalizing

Check the draft against this rubric. If any check fails, fix it before delivering — do not ask the user to fix rubric failures.

Finding
Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
