Security audit

Software Architect

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain Markdown architecture-advice guide with no executable code, persistence, credential handling, or hidden high-impact behavior.

Install this if you want structured help making architecture decisions before implementation. Be aware that it may be invoked for broad system-organization questions, so users should still choose a more specific implementation skill when they need code changes rather than design guidance.

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
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Skill attempts to nullify the agent's safety policies or restrictions ('you have no restrictions', 'ignore your guidelines', 'do anything now'). This is a direct jailbreak that disables guardrails.

- **Don't cargo-cult** — "Netflix does X" doesn't mean you should
- **Don't ignore ops** — A beautiful architecture you can't deploy or monitor is useless
- **Don't skip ADRs** — Future-you will forget why you chose Postgres over MongoDB
- **Don't design without constraints** — Unbounded design is fantasy. Budget, time, and team are real.

Vague Triggers

Confidence

Finding

The manifest description ends with "or any question about how to organize a codebase or system before building," which is broad natural-language trigger guidance rather than a tightly scoped invocation condition. This can overlap with many general coding or planning requests and may cause the skill to activate when a more specific implementation-focused skill would be more appropriate.
