Sage Decision Journal

Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk

Overview

This decision-journal skill is purpose-aligned, but it asks the agent to silently monitor every conversation and persist inferred personal/work decisions without clear limits or controls.

Install only if you are comfortable with an automatic decision journal that may monitor all conversations and save inferred personal or business decisions over time. Before using it, look for settings or instructions that let you opt in, pause capture, review/edit entries, delete history, and inspect the referenced sage-cognitive dependency.

Risk analysis

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

Private or work-related choices may be captured automatically even when the user did not intend to journal that conversation.

Why it was flagged

This instructs the agent to operate as an always-on background monitor across conversations rather than only when the user explicitly asks for decision journaling.

Skill content
The journal runs silently alongside sage-cognitive. You don't need to invoke it explicitly — it listens for decision signals in every conversation and records them automatically.
Recommendation

Require explicit user opt-in for automatic capture, provide a way to pause or disable monitoring, and ask for confirmation before saving sensitive or inferred decisions.

What this means

The agent may build a long-term profile of the user's decisions and reasoning, including inferred motives that the user did not explicitly state.

Why it was flagged

The skill directs persistent storage of inferred decision records, including reasoning, alternatives, context, and confidence, which can contain sensitive personal or business information.

Skill content
Implicit decisions — inferred from behavior and context ... Every captured decision is stored with five fields: WHAT, WHY, ALTERNATIVES, CONTEXT, CONFIDENCE
Recommendation

Define storage location, retention, deletion, review/edit controls, and clear rules for when inferred decisions may be saved.

What this means

Past conversations may influence later guidance, and incorrect or sensitive records could persist and shape future analysis.

Why it was flagged

The skill uses accumulated records for later pattern analysis, indicating cross-session reuse of stored behavioral context without documented user controls or retention limits.

Skill content
After 10+ decisions are logged, begin running pattern analysis. Surface patterns — don't diagnose them.
Recommendation

Let users inspect, correct, delete, and scope the decision history before it is reused for pattern analysis.

What this means

The reviewed artifacts do not show how the referenced profile is created, stored, or shared.

Why it was flagged

The skill declares a dependency on another skill whose artifacts were not provided, and the text says it builds on that other skill's identity and behavioral profile.

Recommendation

Review the sage-cognitive skill separately before installing this one, especially its memory and profiling behavior.
