Proactive-Do

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is transparent about being a recurring proactive todo assistant, but it needs review because it can repeatedly act on todo items and send todo details by email without tight per-action limits.

Install only if you intentionally want recurring proactive execution from todo/todo.md. Before enabling cron or email, define what actions are allowed automatically, require explicit approval for high-impact tasks, verify the gog sender and recipient, avoid putting secrets in todos, and keep todo/ and agent_work/ out of shared repos or backups unless intended.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill tells the agent to halt for actions requiring explicit approval or external messaging, but elsewhere it also instructs automatic heartbeat emails via the gog CLI. That contradiction can cause an agent to send external communications without fresh user consent, especially on recurring cron-driven runs, creating unauthorized disclosure and impersonation risk.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The trigger set includes broad phrases like heartbeat prompts, review todos, pick top 3, and generic state labels, which can cause the skill to activate in ordinary workspace events or unrelated conversations. Because this skill can modify files, create journals, search online, and send notifications, accidental activation materially increases the chance of unintended actions.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill directs the agent to send email reports containing task information but does not clearly warn that todo contents and progress details will leave the local environment. Users may reasonably expect todo data to remain local, so this creates a covert exfiltration path for sensitive project, personal, or operational information.

Ssd 3

Medium
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
The start email explicitly requires inclusion of the full text of the 3 selected todos, which may contain secrets, internal plans, credentials, personal data, or confidential business context. Copying full todo text into external email creates a direct and predictable data leakage channel, amplified by recurring automated execution.
