Reality Check

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only guides an agent through a structured reality-check process and does not request risky system access or hidden actions.

Installers should expect this skill to make the assistant more critical when discussing plans. If that is not desired for casual brainstorming, invoke it only when you explicitly want a feasibility or assumptions review.

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
  • 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
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Finding

This markdown file describes invocation conditions using broad phrases like 'A plan sounds good,' 'The user is optimistic,' and 'meaningful downside risk' without defining clear boundaries or exclusion cases. Those conditions overlap with common conversational situations and may cause unintended activation because the skill does not specify precise trigger phrases or negative examples.

Vague Triggers

Category

Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The trigger phrases are broad enough to match ordinary user requests such as asking whether something is feasible or requesting a reality check, which can cause this skill to activate unexpectedly. In an agent environment, overbroad activation can override user intent, route conversations into the wrong workflow, and create opportunities for prompt-scope confusion or undesired tool behavior.
