Agent Loop Engineering

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only coding workflow skill that manages project-local loop state and includes clear stop rules for sensitive or irreversible actions.

Before installing, expect this skill to create and update Docs/ workflow files in repositories where it is used. Review those files and .agent/logs before committing or publishing, and use explicit invocation if you do not want it applied broadly to routine coding tasks.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The default prompt is broad and can trigger a powerful workflow for essentially any 'coding task' without clearly limiting scope, repositories, or required user confirmation. Because the skill promises bounded loops, persistent state, and automation guidance, an overly generic activation phrase increases the chance of unintended invocation and excessive autonomous behavior in contexts the user did not explicitly approve.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
Enabling implicit invocation without a narrowly defined activation condition allows the skill to be selected automatically in situations where the user may not have intended persistent-state loop engineering behavior. In this context, that is more dangerous because the skill is designed to control coding loops and maintain persistent state, which can amplify mistakes, unauthorized persistence, or unexpected automation across development tasks.
