First Principles Analysis

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a prompt-only first-principles analysis framework with no code execution or data access, though its trigger wording is somewhat broad.

Installers should know this skill may activate for broad analysis requests if the host uses the frontmatter description aggressively. It is otherwise a low-risk prompt-only skill for structured reasoning.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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 description says to use the skill when the user says phrases like "break this down" or discusses broad contexts such as strategy, career moves, or any situation where conventional wisdom may be wrong. These phrases overlap with common everyday requests and the scope is broad enough that the skill could trigger when the user did not specifically want first-principles analysis.
