Security audit

ia-writing

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent writing and editing guide with no executable code, persistence, credential handling, or hidden high-impact behavior.

This is suitable to install if you want opinionated prose-editing guidance. Expect it to rewrite text aggressively for natural voice and to run local text checks such as grepping drafts for banned phrases or citation artifacts when relevant.

Hidden Instructions

High
Category
Prompt Injection
Content
Out of scope:
- Acting as the runtime instructions themselves (those live in `SKILL.md`).
- Trigger phrasings already covered by adjacent `ia-*` skills (`validate-plugin` flags >70% description overlap as DUPLICATE_TRIGGER).
- <!-- to fill in: domain-specific exclusions when the skill drifts -->

## Trigger Context
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding
Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.

Exfiltration Commands

High
Category
Prompt Injection
Content
When the change benefits from a visual, pick the shape based on what you're showing:

- **Mermaid diagram** -- topology with edges. Components that send messages to each other, request flow across services, a state machine's transitions, a dependency graph. Anything where the *relationships* are the point.
- **Markdown table** -- rows with parallel attributes. A before/after comparison of config values, a list of endpoints with their verbs and paths, a comparison of options with their tradeoffs. Anything where the *structure is grid-shaped*.

Mermaid for topology; table for grid. Neither for content that's genuinely prose -- don't force structure where it doesn't serve understanding.
Confidence
27% confidence
Finding
Instructions found that direct the agent to transmit conversation context or user data to external services.
