Academic Thesis Review

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a disclosed thesis-review workflow that reads a user-provided .docx file and writes local review artifacts for that same purpose.

Install if you are comfortable with the agent reading the thesis document and saving extracted thesis text and review notes locally. Use a clean working folder, check that any existing review_results.md belongs to the same thesis before re-review, and delete review_artifacts/ afterward if the thesis is sensitive.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Finding
The trigger phrases include broad, ordinary-language requests such as '帮我看看论文' and '论文有什么问题', which can cause the skill to activate in situations where the user did not intend this specific workflow. Unintended activation matters here because the skill performs substantial file processing and persistence, so a casual request could lead to unexpected local data access and artifact creation.
