Howtoletmyagent Installer

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed installer skill that can add persistent companion skills, but it requires source checks and user approval before writes or install commands.

Install only if you trust howtoletmyagent.xyz and the specific manifest being fetched. Before approving, review the exact URL, manifest file list, target install path, and any install command; do not approve unexpected domains, shell commands, or paths outside the intended skills folder.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding
The skill allows activation from a vague request like "learn the skill from this page" based only on URL context, which can cause the agent to act on unintended or attacker-supplied links present earlier in the conversation. In an installer skill, broad invocation increases the chance of fetching and installing a manifest without sufficiently clear user intent tied to a specific source.
