Writing Plans

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a markdown-only planning skill that tells an agent how to structure multi-step work and does not add hidden code, persistence, credential access, or new privileges.

This skill is reasonable to install if you want agents to pause and make explicit plans for longer work. Expect it may activate on many multi-step tasks; review plans for scope before execution, especially when a task involves installs, external systems, or sub-agents.

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
  • Trigger AbuseOverly Broad Trigger, Shadow Command Trigger, Keyword Baiting Trigger
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Finding

The description says to use the skill whenever a task is "multi-step, long-running, easy to derail, or needs coordination," which covers many ordinary tasks and does not define when the skill should not be invoked. Because this is a markdown file, vague trigger guidance applies here, and the file provides no negative examples or narrow scope constraints to prevent over-activation.
