Prompt Benchmark

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a local prompt-review helper that reads prompt text, runs a deterministic lint script, and asks the agent to produce a static quality report without network calls or persistence.

Install this if you want local, static prompt-quality analysis. It should not be treated as a runtime benchmark: accuracy, latency, cost, hallucination rate, and model performance are explicitly not measured unless separate dynamic tests are run.

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

Finding

The code is clearly aligned with part of the description: it statically analyzes prompt text without invoking external models, and it evaluates some structural/format issues, example presence, schema validity for JSON blocks, and limited instruction conflicts. However, the declared purpose is substantially broader, claiming an evidence-based static benchmark over general quality, few-shot examples, safety and robustness, target-model compatibility, cross-model portability, production readiness, and high-priority improvement recommendations. This implementation is a narrow deterministic linter with heuristic checks and explicitly states it is 'not a complete benchmark score.' That makes the description materially overstate the skill’s primary capability. There are no suspicious undeclared external accesses or unrelated triggers; the mismatch is mainly that the real behavior is much narrower than advertised.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

The short description and default prompt present mixed-language behavior in the skill metadata, which may implicitly impose a language/locale experience without explicit user opt-in. The policy requires avoiding forced language behavior unless the skill offers a choice or clearly documents a justified locale constraint.
