Skill Discovery SEO

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain guidance package for improving skill metadata and discoverability, with no executable code or hidden runtime behavior found.

This appears safe to install as a metadata and listing optimization aid. Users should treat its advice as discoverability guidance, not as a general skill authoring, security review, or publication approval authority.

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
  • System Prompt LeakageDirect Leakage, Indirect Extraction, Tool-Based Exfiltration
  • Rogue AgentSelf-Modification, Session Persistence
  • 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

Direct Prompt Extraction

High
Category
System Prompt Leakage
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

Skill contains instructions that could directly expose system prompts, internal rules, or hidden instructions to users or external parties.

Content

Scanner excerpt · SKILL.md (reported line 72)May include surrounding context.

md
- 3 to 8 realistic example prompts
- one short note on what not to claim in the listing

## Output Rules

- Keep names literal, ASCII-safe, and easy to type.
- Put the highest-signal trigger terms early in the description.

Self-Modification

High
Category
Rogue Agent
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.

## Scope discipline

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill description is extremely broad and can trigger on generic tasks like creating, refining, packaging, or publishing a skill, rather than a narrowly bounded SEO/discoverability use case. In agent ecosystems, overly broad invocation language can cause misrouting, unnecessary activation, and inappropriate trust in this skill for tasks outside its competence, which can degrade decision quality or override more suitable specialized skills.
