Nm Abstract Skills Eval

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is mostly coherent as a skill-auditing guide, but its testing guidance includes unsafe examples for executing tool paths from skills under review.

Install only if you are comfortable with a broad skill-evaluation assistant. When auditing unfamiliar skills, do not run generated integration or benchmarking code that executes declared tool paths unless you have reviewed the paths, constrained them to trusted locations, and run them in an isolated sandbox. Treat auto-fix, chmod, pip install, scan-all, and directory-wide commands as explicit user-directed maintenance actions, not automatic checks.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger list includes broad, common terms such as "evaluation," "improvement," and "skills," which are likely to appear in many unrelated conversations. This can cause unintended activation of the skill outside its intended auditing context, increasing the chance that the agent injects irrelevant instructions or tool-use guidance into unrelated tasks.
