Security audit

Monopoly vs Competition

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill provides a business-strategy discussion framework with no security-sensitive execution or access requirements.

No special permissions or credentials are needed. Treat the business conclusions as a framework to test against evidence.

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
  • YARA SignaturesMalware Match, Webshell Match, Cryptominer Match
  • 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

| [D] "We'll capture 1% of a huge market" | Top-down share math skips step 4 entirely. 1% of huge = fierce competition at every point of entry. Name the beachhead you can *dominate*, then the rings. |
| [D] "We have network effects" for any product with users | Users ≠ network effects. The test is marginal-user-adds-value-to-existing-users; most SaaS fails it. Run network-effects before claiming the trait. |
| [D] "First mover advantage" as the moat | Thiel's point is *last* mover: the durable winner is whoever makes the final great development in the market, not whoever arrives first. First without a trait from step 3 just does the market education for the eventual monopolist. |
