Skill Distiller (Compressed)

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to do what it says: help compress skill files, with a small local calibration log users should know about.

Before installing, be aware that using this skill may create or update a local calibration file under .learnings/skill-distiller/. Review or delete that file if you do not want local history retained, and check your agent's configured model/provider before processing private skill text.

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
  • 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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Finding

The skill explicitly instructs appending calibration data to a local file under .learnings/skill-distiller/calibration.jsonl, but it does not clearly warn the user that running the skill causes a filesystem write. Undisclosed writes can surprise users, create persistent artifacts, and may store sensitive prompts, outputs, or metadata in shared workspaces.
