Security audit

skill-auditor

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a local SKILL.md quality auditor with a helper script, and its file access is limited and consistent with that purpose.

Install this if you are comfortable with a Chinese-first skill that runs a local Python script over a SKILL.md and nearby skill directory structure. Review its findings as quality guidance, not as a security guarantee or automatic fixer.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding
Without declared permissions the skill's intent is opaque and cannot be validated.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
模块说明将能力描述为针对 SKILL.md 内容的检测,但实现中不仅读取目标文件,还依据同级目录下的 scripts/、references/、templates/ 是否存在以及其中是否有文件来决定类型和多个维度分数(如 L25-L26、L90-L96、L120-L126、L141-L147、L165-L170)。这使实际行为超出了“检测 SKILL.md 关键模式”的表述范围,属于描述与行为不一致。

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
This markdown file is entirely written in Chinese and does not state within the file that language selection is optional or user-driven. Under the policy rule for natural-language violations, forcing a specific language without user opt-in can be a locale-policy issue, even though an English counterpart is linked.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The activation list includes generic phrases such as “审阅skill”, “检查skill质量”, and “优化skill”, which could match many ordinary conversations about skills rather than a clearly scoped invocation. The file does not provide exclusion conditions or negative examples to distinguish when this skill should or should not activate.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Confidence
81% confidence
Finding
The manifest description is entirely in Chinese and the document consistently instructs behavior in that language, but there is no indication that language selection is user-configurable or limited to a region-specific use case. Per the policy, forcing a specific language without opt-in can be a natural-language policy issue.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The module docstring states the script's purpose, usage, and output entirely in Chinese, and the generated report and CLI help are also hard-coded in Chinese later in the file. This imposes a specific language/locale on users without any visible opt-in or alternative, which matches the language-policy violation criteria.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The report formatter and argparse descriptions emit user-facing text such as report headings, labels, improvement notices, and help text only in Chinese. Because the script does not provide a locale choice or documented justification for this restriction, it violates the natural-language policy requirement.

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.
