skill-publisher

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a public-publishing workflow that is mostly disclosed, but it grants broad release-oriented authority with weak confirmation and a hardcoded publisher namespace.

Install only if you intentionally want this publisher-specific workflow. Before running it, confirm the exact skill folder, use --dry-run first, verify the cleaned bundle contains no secrets, and be aware that the generated install commands and namespace are hardcoded to mebusw rather than your own account.

Vague Triggers

Finding

The activation criteria are broad enough to trigger on generic requests to 'publish' or 'ship' a skill folder to public destinations, which can cause the agent to begin a release-oriented workflow without sufficient scoping or confirmation. In a skill that performs file preparation, documentation generation, and potential handoff toward public distribution, overbroad triggering increases the chance of unintended disclosure or accidental publication preparation.

Vague Triggers

Confidence
85% confidence
Finding

The usage guidance includes vague examples and a fallback condition that effectively says to use this skill whenever a skill folder goes from local to public. That broad scope makes accidental invocation more likely in sensitive contexts, especially because later steps create files, duplicate directories, and prepare artifacts for external release.
