Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coding workflow helper that gives planning and verification guidance, with only limited local preference storage when the user asks for it.

Installers should be aware that the skill may maintain a local preference file at ~/code/memory.md. Review what gets saved there, but the artifact does not show hidden execution, network access, credential handling, or deceptive behavior.

A.I.G

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

Finding

The planning guidance activates on very broad phrases such as "build", "create", and "implement", which are common in ordinary user requests. This can cause the skill to engage unexpectedly, increasing the chance of workflow hijacking, unnecessary instruction injection into unrelated tasks, or degraded agent behavior through over-triggering.
