Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
This is a quality-control skill, but it needs review because it can ask users to upload broad debugging artifacts such as full HAR files without privacy or redaction warnings.
Install only if you are comfortable with the agent asking for diagnostic artifacts. Before sharing HAR files, console logs, screenshots, recordings, documents, audio, or file paths, review and redact cookies, authorization headers, tokens, account identifiers, internal URLs, and confidential content; prefer screenshots or selected request details before full exports.

The opt-out trigger includes the phrase "just write it," which is broad, colloquial language that can easily appear in normal user requests unrelated to disabling safeguards. An attacker or even an ordinary user could unintentionally suppress the pre-flight safety behavior, causing the skill to skip checks for missing inputs, modality gaps, or unverifiable assumptions and increasing the chance of unsafe or low-integrity outputs.
The guidance tells users to export and send HAR files, console output, file paths, and arbitrary documents without any warning that these artifacts can contain sensitive data such as cookies, authorization headers, personal documents, local usernames, or internal URLs. In a skill specifically designed to collect debugging artifacts quickly, this omission increases the chance that users will overshare sensitive information to the agent or service handling the chat.
