Security audit

Security code review

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a security-review guidance skill that inspects code and reports vulnerabilities, with only a minor disclosure issue around optional local report files.

Install this for repositories you want an agent to inspect for security issues. Review any generated chat report or `.shield_security/` files as sensitive because they may include real vulnerabilities, file paths, or discovered secrets, and prefer explicit approval before saving reports to the workspace.

Intent-Code Divergence

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill claims security analysis must use only read-only tools, but immediately allows creation of artifacts in the workspace. That contradiction can normalize unauthorized file writes during a supposedly non-mutating review flow, increasing the chance an agent modifies the repository or leaves persistent data without clear user consent.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The markdown permits writing artifacts to `.shield_security/` during security analysis but does not provide a clear upfront warning that the workspace may be modified. In an agentic setting, this can mislead users into expecting a read-only review while the skill persists files locally, which may overwrite data, leak sensitive findings into the repo, or violate least-privilege expectations.
