Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a planning helper that reads project context and writes user-approved spec documents, with no executable code or hidden high-risk behavior found.

Before installing, be comfortable with the skill reading relevant project files to understand architecture and writing planning documents under ./docs/ideation/. Review generated contracts and specs before approving the next step.

A.I.G

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

Memory Manipulation

High
Category
Memory Poisoning
Content
- Voice dictation transcripts (messy, stream-of-consciousness)
- Bullet points mixed with rambling
- Topic jumping and tangents
- Contradictions and unclear statements
- Technical jargon mixed with vague descriptions

**Don't require organization. The mess is the input.**
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.

### 1. Problem Clarity (0-20 points)

| Score | Criteria                                                                                    |
| ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 0-5   | Problem not stated or completely unclear. No idea what we're solving.                       |
| 6-10  | Problem mentioned but vague ("things are slow", "users complain", "it's broken").           |
Confidence
70% confidence
Finding
Large whitespace padding was detected (a block of blank lines or a long run of spaces). This can push injected instructions below or to the right of the visible area so a human reviewer never sees them while the agent still reads them. Manual review of the hidden content is recommended.

| 0-5   | Unlimited scope. No boundaries stated. Everything could be in scope.                          |
| 6-10  | Some boundaries implied but not explicit. "We're not redesigning everything" type statements. |
