Work Productivity Self Improving Workflow Helper

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill provides ordinary workflow guidance, with broad activation keywords that may cause it to appear on unrelated requests.

Expect general planning, checklists, and implementation guidance. Prefer explicit invocation if broad keywords cause unwanted activation. The advertised demand score describes claimed popularity and feasibility, not a security certification.

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
Findings (6)

Activation keywords include common terms that can trigger the skill outside its intended workflow.

Medium
Category
Trigger Abuse
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The usage keywords include broad terms such as "self", "learning", "organizing", and "criticism", which occur in many unrelated requests. No exclusion conditions or contextual matching requirements constrain these keywords, so the more specific trigger sentences do not resolve their ambiguity.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Activation keywords include broad everyday terms without sufficient scope constraints.

Trigger Abuse
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The trigger list includes standalone terms such as 'self', 'learning', 'organizing', and 'criticism', which occur in many requests unrelated to self-improving agent workflows. Line 4 reinforces this broad activation scope, and the skill provides no exclusion conditions to prevent unintended invocation.

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Standalone trigger keywords overlap with everyday language and unrelated tasks.

Confidence

Finding

The activation keywords include broad terms such as “self,” “learning,” “criticism,” and “organizing,” which can appear in requests unrelated to self-improving agent workflows. The description at L04 similarly permits activation on generic keywords, and no exclusion conditions constrain these matches.

Activation keywords include common words that can trigger the skill outside its intended workflow.

Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

The usage section lists generic keywords such as self, learning, organizing, and criticism, which commonly occur in unrelated requests. Although specific invocation examples follow, the file does not restrict these keywords to agent-workflow requests or provide exclusions.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Implicit invocation is enabled without a clear, task-specific activation scope.

Trigger Abuse
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The description and default prompt discuss demand for self-improving and proactive workflows rather than defining which user requests this skill handles. With implicit invocation enabled, the manifest provides no clear boundary distinguishing intended activation from general productivity or workflow requests.

Usage keywords include broad everyday terms without activation constraints.

Confidence
90% confidence
Finding

The usage signals include standalone terms such as "self", "learning", "organizing", and "bug fix", which overlap with many unrelated requests. Although the subsequent trigger sentences are more specific, the file does not constrain these keywords to requests about self-improving or proactive-agent workflows.
