Work Productivity Skill Vetter Workflow Helper

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only workflow helper with overly broad activation wording, but it does not request credentials, persistence, hidden execution, or destructive authority.

Reasonable to install if you want a lightweight skill-vetting workflow helper. Be aware that its trigger metadata is too broad and implicit invocation is enabled, so it may appear in unrelated security, GitHub, or workflow conversations; disabling implicit invocation or narrowing triggers would improve predictability.

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

Vague Triggers

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad enough to match common requests such as 'security', 'first', 'before', 'github', or generic workflow/help prompts, which can cause the skill to activate outside its intended niche. In an agent ecosystem, overbroad invocation can misroute user tasks, increase unintended handling of sensitive requests, and create opportunities for prompt-surface abuse through accidental or unnecessary skill activation.

Confidence

Finding

The skill description includes very broad trigger terms such as 'security' and 'first' that can match many unrelated user requests, causing the skill to activate outside its intended scope. Overbroad routing can misapply this skill's guidance in sensitive contexts, increasing the chance of incorrect advice, confusion, or unintended workflow interception.

Finding

The keyword list contains ambiguous common-language terms including 'security', 'first', 'before', 'github', and 'bug fix', which are likely to overlap with a large volume of ordinary requests unrelated to this specific skill. This makes accidental invocation highly likely and can route users into the wrong workflow, especially in security-related conversations where precision and least-surprise behavior are important.

Finding

触发关键词包含“security”“first”“before”“github”等高频、语义宽泛的日常词,会让技能在大量无关上下文中被误触发。误触发本身不一定直接导致代码执行,但会扩大该技能介入决策和产出内容的机会面,增加错误建议、上下文劫持或覆盖更合适技能的风险。

Finding

Implicit invocation is enabled even though the skill metadata and prompt are not specific enough to ensure the skill activates only for clearly intended requests. In a security- and workflow-related helper, this can cause silent or surprising invocation on ordinary productivity or security queries, increasing the risk of prompt confusion, inappropriate tool selection, and unintended handling of sensitive context.

Vague Triggers

Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

The trigger sentence starts with very common language such as "Help me" and "I need," which can cause the skill to activate for broad, unrelated user requests. In a security- and vetting-oriented skill, overbroad activation is risky because it can unexpectedly steer conversations, inject workflow instructions, or override more appropriate skills in contexts where the user did not intend to invoke this behavior.

Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The trigger sentences are broad and loosely scoped, including generic terms like 'security', 'first', 'before', 'installing', and 'github', which can cause the skill to activate for unrelated user requests. In an agent ecosystem, ambiguous activation can route sensitive or high-trust workflows to the wrong skill, leading to misleading security guidance, unintended execution paths, or user confusion about what tool is handling the request.

Category

Confidence
88% confidence
Finding

The example trigger sentences are malformed and incomplete, so they do not provide reliable activation boundaries or clear intent signals. Poorly formed trigger examples can degrade classifier behavior and increase false activations or missed activations, which is risky for a skill dealing with security and vetting workflows.

Finding

描述中的启用条件覆盖“work-productivity, skill-vetter, vetter, security, first”以及任何需要“workflow/checklist/analysis/implementation support”的请求,边界非常模糊。这样的范围会让技能在大量普通生产力或安全相关请求中被激活,造成路由混乱、结果不相关,甚至影响用户对安全建议的信任。

Confidence

Finding

The default prompt uses broad, generic language such as 'help me' and references common terms like workflow, security, and analysis without tight activation boundaries. This increases the chance of unintended routing or invocation in unrelated user conversations, which can expose users to unexpected behavior, incorrect context selection, or over-broad use of a security-oriented helper.
