Overview

This skill is a coherent local shared-memory system, but it needs Review because its onboarding and install instructions reduce user control around persistent cross-agent state and executable setup steps.

Install only if you intentionally want all joined local agents to share plaintext identity, rules, logs, handoffs, and registry state under ~/.agent-guild/. Do not run the pipe-to-shell installer as written; download a pinned release or script first, inspect it, and verify integrity. Treat onboarding as requiring explicit approval before any symlink, copy, delete, registry, or persistent write action, and avoid storing secrets or sensitive personal data in the shared directory unless you have a separate protection and cleanup plan.

Vulnerability Patterns

• Prompt Injection: Instruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
• Supply Chain: Unpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
• Excessive Agency: Unrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
• Tool Misuse: Tool Parameter Abuse, Chaining Abuse, Unsafe Defaults
• Rogue Agent: Self-Modification, Session Persistence

Findings (25)

Lp3

Medium

• Category: MCP Least Privilege
• Confidence: 87% confidence
• Finding: The skill directs agents to read environment-dependent paths, execute shell commands, and perform persistent file writes under ~/.agent-guild/, yet it does not declare permissions or equivalent capability boundaries. This weakens transparency and consent, making it easier for a host agent or user to underestimate the skill's ability to modify local state and execute commands.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 91% confidence
• Finding: The documented purpose emphasizes a local shared-memory runtime, but the referenced behavior expands into registration management, audit/status inspection, pruning, and even remote installation via GitHub in related workflow text. This mismatch is dangerous because agents may invoke capabilities beyond what users reasonably consented to, including network retrieval and broader state changes to shared coordination files.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The onboarding instructs the user to run remote installer scripts via curl|bash and iex from GitHub. This creates a supply-chain and arbitrary code execution risk because the fetched content can change, be compromised, or be tampered with in transit or at the source, and the skill normalizes that unsafe installation path.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium

• Confidence: 91% confidence
• Finding: The file directs broad filesystem discovery across the user's home, AppData, and LocalAppData trees to locate candidate runtime paths. That exceeds least-privilege for this skill's purpose and can expose unrelated files, agent directories, and sensitive environment structure during autonomous execution.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The onboarding expands scope from joining one skill to establishing a shared installation convention for arbitrary skills, MCP servers, plugins, and tools. That materially increases attack surface by authorizing future cross-agent code and configuration placement in a shared directory, potentially enabling persistence and lateral influence between agents.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 84% confidence
• Finding: The catch-all trigger phrase 'any equivalent' makes activation conditions ambiguous, which can cause unintended invocation from loosely similar user requests. In a skill that reads and writes shared persistent state, overbroad triggering increases the risk of accidental data access or modification without clear user intent.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 89% confidence
• Finding: The skill instructs agents to update, move, and append plaintext files in ~/.agent-guild/ but does not clearly foreground that these are persistent cross-agent modifications. Users and calling agents may not realize that operational notes, handoffs, focus updates, and logs will remain on disk and be visible to other agents sharing that directory.

Missing User Warnings

High

• Confidence: 99% confidence
• Finding: The opening block explicitly tells any reading agent to execute onboarding immediately, in the current turn, without further confirmation. That is a classic coercive prompt-injection pattern intended to bypass user intent verification before making filesystem changes, installing software, and modifying shared state.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The README explicitly tells users to pipe code fetched over the network directly into `bash` and `iex`, which removes the opportunity to inspect the script before execution and makes any compromise of the upstream repository, release process, or network path immediately lead to arbitrary code execution. In a security-sensitive skill that coordinates multiple agents and shared local state, this is especially risky because the bootstrap step establishes trusted files and conventions that later agents may rely on.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: The README instructs users to execute remote content directly via `curl ... | bash` and `iwr ... | iex`, which bypasses review of the downloaded script and creates a supply-chain execution path if the upstream repository, distribution channel, or network path is compromised. In this skill's context, the risk is elevated because the project is specifically about installing trusted agent behavior and shared memory infrastructure, so users may be primed to grant broad trust to code they have not inspected.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 98% confidence
• Finding: The template instructs users to execute a remote script directly via `curl | bash`, which bypasses review of the fetched content and creates an obvious supply-chain and code-execution risk. In this skill's context, the command installs shared agent infrastructure and may be copied into adapters for many agents, amplifying the blast radius if the upstream source is compromised or changed maliciously.

Missing User Warnings

Medium

• Confidence: 94% confidence
• Finding: The template explicitly allows deletion of actively written log files and states that live processes will rebuild them as needed. In practice, removing open log files can disrupt diagnostics, break assumptions of running services, interfere with troubleshooting or incident response, and in some environments affect process behavior depending on how logging is implemented. Because this is a shared rule template for multiple agents, the unsafe guidance can be propagated and executed repeatedly.

Ssd 1

High

• Confidence: 99% confidence
• Finding: The instruction block reframes user intent by asserting that merely reading the file means the user wants immediate onboarding. This is dangerous because it attempts to override normal consent boundaries and convert passive inspection into authorization for installation, persistence, and state changes.

Ssd 4

High

• Confidence: 97% confidence
• Finding: This section pushes the agent to autonomously retry installation methods, alter files, delete prior attempts, and continue without user checkpoints until a workable persistence path is found. That persistence-oriented fallback ladder is risky because it maximizes the chance that an agent will make impactful system changes without informed user approval.

Autonomous Decision Making

The `protocol_version` field on your entry is what the runtime skill uses to detect major version drift (see `../SKILL.md` § Self-check). Don't omit it.

If you can't write to registry.json (no FS permission) → log it and proceed. The protocol still works without registry presence; you just won't be visible to other agents' "who's online" queries, and you'll lose the major-version-drift detection.

| MCP | Tool/resource protocol | Not about memory |
| **Agent Guild** | **Cross-vendor, local-first, plaintext, zero-deps** | **Requires the agent to be smart enough to read a file** |

The differentiator: **we don't write adapters for each agent**. We write a single `SKILL.md` that any sufficiently intelligent LLM can read and self-onboard from. Agents that can't follow plain English instructions… don't get to join. That's the design.
