Siyuan Notes Skill

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed SiYuan notes integration that can read and, when enabled, edit or delete notes, with no artifact-backed hidden exfiltration or deceptive behavior found.

Install only if you are comfortable giving the agent access to your SiYuan workspace. Keep SIYUAN_ENABLE_WRITE=false unless you explicitly want edits, use the least-privileged/local token available, avoid token-in-query mode unless required, and review document or block IDs carefully before write, delete, move, replace-section, or apply-patch operations.

Finding
The README contains a model-targeted instruction telling LLMs to ignore the current file and instead read SKILL.md. In an agent-skill context, this creates an instruction-routing channel specifically for models, which can be used to hide or split behavior between human-visible and model-visible documentation and increases the risk of prompt injection or deceptive capability descriptions.
