Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed coding-workflow standards guide with broad activation language, but it does not install code, persist itself, exfiltrate data, or secretly expand privileges.

Install this if you want stricter coding workflow discipline. Expect it to activate on many development-related requests and to add planning, verification, rollback, and checklist steps; review whether that extra process fits your workflow.

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

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The top-level trigger description is broad enough to activate on many normal coding-related requests, which can cause this skill to take over interactions outside the user's intended workflow. In a routing skill, overbroad activation is dangerous because it can impose extra process constraints, alter agent behavior, and create unauthorized scope changes in how tasks are handled.

Vague Triggers

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The scenario trigger lists include highly generic terms such as 'implement', 'error', 'fix', and 'optimize', which frequently appear in ordinary developer conversations without meaning the user wants this orchestration skill engaged. This increases the chance of false activation, causing the agent to follow rigid workflow instructions and potentially override the expected handling of unrelated requests.

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

- **Skipping think-then-code**: The most common mistake under vague requirements. You MUST write down your understanding and approach BEFORE writing any code. No exceptions.
- **Over-engineering**: Introducing abstraction layers when there's only one implementation. Violates Simplicity. It increases maintenance cost, not reduces it.
- **Drive-by refactoring**: "While I'm here" refactoring during a bug fix or feature. Violates Surgical Changes. It introduces uncontrolled risk.
- **No verification instructions**: Ending a task after writing code. Violates Goal-Driven. The user CANNOT confirm the fix works.
- **Hardcoded env config**: Embedding config values or paths in code. It WILL break in deployment. ALWAYS use env vars.

## Verification

Finding

The trigger 'all other bugs not matching the specialized types above' is effectively a catch-all without concrete boundaries or negative examples, making activation broad and ambiguous. In a reference skill, this can cause unintended invocation whenever a bug report does not clearly fit another bucket.

Scope Creep

Excessive Agency
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.

**Hard Constraints**:

- You MUST list every file and module affected BEFORE making changes. NEVER expand scope beyond what's listed.
- New DB fields MUST include default values and migration plan. NEVER add a column without a migration.
- You MUST reuse existing components and APIs. NEVER duplicate logic that already exists in the codebase.

Finding

The deploy trigger list contains broad words like 'release' and 'ship' that are commonly used metaphorically or in planning discussions, not only for actual deployment intent. In this skill context, that can misroute a harmless discussion into a deployment workflow with unnecessary operational assumptions and steps.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
82% confidence
Finding

Activation phrases throughout the file are specified in Chinese and English only, which imposes a language-specific trigger scheme without stating that language selection is configurable or intentionally limited. This can conflict with language/locale policy requirements where user opt-in or documented justification is expected.
