Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
This local memory skill is not malicious, but it should be reviewed because it stores and reloads user/session memories without clear consent, retention, deletion, or prompt-injection safeguards.
Install only if you intentionally want a local long-term memory system. Before use, define what may be saved, avoid storing secrets, periodically review and delete memory files, and require confirmation before changing personality or long-term behavior files such as SOUL.md and MEMORY.md.

SKILL.md:94Persistent Agent Memory Poisoning Through Unvalidated User-Controlled Content
The skill explicitly directs the agent to persist session content, user preferences, and learned information across sessions in local files, but it does not require clear user notice, consent, retention limits, or deletion controls. Even though storage is local, this can still create privacy and data-minimization risks because sensitive personal or behavioral data may be retained longer than the user expects.
A language or locale policy issue can arise when a skill effectively forces a specific language without user opt-in. This file presents the skill description, commands, and operating instructions only in Chinese, with no indication that users may choose another language or that the locale restriction is intentional and justified.
No suspicious patterns detected.
