Self Improving Skill

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The available evidence shows a self-improvement skill with a broad activation trigger, but no signs of malware, hidden persistence, credential use, exfiltration, or destructive behavior.

This looks acceptable to install if you want a self-improvement or study-planning helper. Review the trigger wording before publishing or relying on it in a multi-skill environment, because generic phrases may cause it to activate when the user only wanted ordinary advice.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrases are broad enough to match ordinary user requests like asking how to improve or requesting a plan, which can cause the skill to activate outside the user's intended context. That increases the chance of prompt hijacking or unintentional routing, especially in environments where multiple skills compete for similar natural-language inputs.
