Security audit

Skill Creator 2 0.1.0

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a plain guide for creating or updating skill packages and does not include hidden code, persistence, credential use, or unrelated authority.

Install this if you want agent guidance for building skill packages. Expect it to help create and edit files in skill directories you choose; review generated skills before packaging or sharing them.

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
  • Rogue AgentSelf-Modification, Session Persistence
  • 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

Self-Modification

High
Category
Rogue Agent
Content
1. Understand the skill with concrete examples
2. Plan reusable skill contents (scripts, references, assets)
3. Initialize the skill (run init_skill.py)
4. Edit the skill (implement resources and write SKILL.md)
5. Package the skill (run package_skill.py)
6. Iterate based on real usage
Confidence
85% confidence
Finding
Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.

Self-Modification

High
Category
Rogue Agent
Content
Any example files and directories not needed for the skill should be deleted. The initialization script creates example files in `scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/` to demonstrate structure, but most skills won't need all of them.

#### Update SKILL.md

**Writing Guidelines:** Always use imperative/infinitive form.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The description says the skill should be used when users want to create a new skill or update an existing skill that extends Claude's capabilities, which is a wide activation condition that could overlap with many general requests about building tools, workflows, or integrations. It does not provide negative examples or sharper scope constraints to distinguish this skill from ordinary coding, documentation, or project-planning requests.
