Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk
This skill has a coherent context-management purpose, but it automatically writes session summaries and user preferences into persistent bootstrapped agent state without clear consent or trust-boundary guardrails.
Review this skill before installing if you do not want agents to automatically maintain persistent project memory. It should be used only where SESSION-STATE.md is isolated to the right workspace/user and where agents are instructed to exclude secrets, prompt-like instructions, and sensitive personal data from retained summaries.
SKILL.md:12Untrusted Session Content Can Persist in Bootstrapped Agent State
The skill explicitly instructs the agent to update SESSION-STATE.md automatically as part of normal operation, but it does not require notifying the user or obtaining consent before modifying workspace files. This creates an integrity and transparency risk: an agent could silently alter persistent project state, and repeated automated updates may overwrite important context or introduce misleading summaries that affect later decisions.
No suspicious patterns detected.
