Caveman Compress Mode

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This appears to be a low-risk communication-style skill, with the main issue being that terse mode may activate too broadly and persist longer than users expect.

Install only if you want a persistent terse-response mode. Be aware that common phrases like asking the assistant to be brief may activate it, and confirm the opt-out command before using it in important or complex tasks.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrases are broad enough to activate on common user requests such as 'be brief' or 'less tokens', which can unintentionally switch the assistant into a persistent alternate behavior. Because the mode stays active across later turns until explicitly disabled, accidental activation can silently alter future responses and reduce user control over communication style.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Low
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The skill enforces persistent terse output once triggered and does not automatically revert, which overrides normal conversational choice in subsequent turns. While this is primarily a UX and control issue rather than direct code execution risk, it can degrade clarity, especially in complex or sensitive interactions, and makes accidental activation more harmful.
