Work Productivity Self Improving Workflow Helper

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only workflow helper with overly broad activation wording, but I found no hidden execution, persistence, credential handling, or destructive behavior.

Install only if you want a general workflow helper for self-improving or proactive agent work. Be aware that its broad triggers may cause it to activate unexpectedly; tighter trigger wording or explicit invocation would reduce confusion.

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

Vague Triggers

High

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The description says to use the skill when a user asks for broad categories like "work-productivity" or needs any "practical workflow, artifact, checklist, analysis, or implementation support," which is vague enough to match many unrelated tasks. In an agentic environment, such ambiguity increases the chance of over-selection and lets this skill influence conversations beyond its legitimate domain.

Vague Triggers

Category

Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The trigger list includes extremely broad terms like "self," "improving," and "proactive," which are common in unrelated user requests. This can cause the skill to activate outside its intended scope, leading to inappropriate routing, prompt interference with more relevant skills, and unpredictable agent behavior.

Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

The trigger list includes extremely generic terms such as "self", "improving", "proactive", "learning", and "organizing", which are common in ordinary user requests and likely to cause unintended activation of this skill. Overbroad activation can route unrelated conversations into a self-improving/proactive workflow, increasing the chance of prompt misapplication, confusion, and accidental execution of higher-risk agent behaviors in contexts where the user did not ask for them.

Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases start with extremely common language such as "Help me" and "I need," which can cause the skill to activate on many unrelated user requests. In an agent ecosystem, unintended invocation can misroute tasks, override more appropriate skills, or inject workflow behavior into contexts where the user did not intend to use this skill.

Confidence

Finding

The keyword list contains very generic terms such as 'self', 'improving', 'proactive', 'reflection', and 'bug fix', which are common across many benign conversations. This weak scoping can cause accidental routing to this skill, especially because the skill targets proactive and self-improving behaviors that may alter workflow or decision-making beyond user intent.

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger sentences are broad, natural-language phrases that could match ordinary user requests unrelated to this specific skill. This increases the chance of unintended activation, causing the agent to apply self-improving or proactive workflow behavior in the wrong context and potentially produce confusing, overreaching, or unsafe actions.

Confidence

Finding

The trigger phrases are broad, generic, and include common help-seeking language that could match many ordinary user requests unrelated to this specific skill. In an agent skill-routing context, this can cause accidental invocation, misrouting, and unexpected execution of a self-improving/proactive workflow in situations where the user did not intend it.

Vague Triggers

Category

Confidence
92% confidence
Finding

The example triggers are generic requests that largely repeat the broad requirement text instead of demonstrating narrowly scoped invocation. This trains matching systems and maintainers toward overbroad activation patterns, increasing accidental use of the skill in irrelevant contexts.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The skill enables implicit invocation while using a very broad description and default prompt tied to generic terms like work productivity, self-improving, and practical help. This can cause the agent to invoke the skill in contexts the user did not explicitly request, increasing the risk of prompt-scope hijacking, unintended behavior changes, or unsafe delegation to an overly general workflow helper.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence

Finding

This Chinese-language README contains core user-facing content in English, including the main requirement description, without indicating that the user can choose their preferred language. That may conflict with a language/locale expectation for localized documentation because it effectively forces some content into English without opt-in.
