Door-in-the-Face Technique

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a text-only negotiation skill that openly explains a persuasion tactic and its defenses, with no code execution or hidden access, though it should be used ethically.

Installers should understand that this skill teaches a real persuasion tactic that can pressure people if misused. It is best used for recognizing the pattern, evaluating offers on their merits, or structuring fair negotiations where the other party has real choice and adequate information.

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

Finding

This example gives a detailed, evidence-backed description of a persuasion technique, including when it works best and how to operationalize it, before introducing ethical caveats near the end. In a skill explicitly about negotiation and reciprocal-concession tactics, that presentation can enable manipulative use by readers seeking to increase compliance rather than understand or defend against the technique.
