Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a plain Markdown TDD guidance skill with broad but disclosed activation and no hidden code execution, persistence, credential use, or network behavior.

Install this only if you want agents to follow a strict TDD workflow across most feature, bugfix, refactoring, and behavior-change tasks. Be aware that it may push the agent to discard code written before tests unless you explicitly direct otherwise.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • 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

Finding

The manifest description says to use this skill when implementing "any feature or bugfix," which is extremely broad and overlaps with a large share of normal development work. It does not provide narrower trigger phrases, scope constraints, or negative examples to clarify when the skill should not activate.
