Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The skill is markdown-only and technically low-privilege, but its core instructions can generate covert manipulation and social-engineering strategy without adequate safety limits.

Install only if you want a Chinese-language analysis/reference skill and can enforce strong external safety boundaries. It should not be used to plan deception, coercion, emotional exploitation, insider manipulation, market abuse, or campaigns against real people or organizations.

Vulnerability Patterns

Vulnerable Instruction Segment

The following is a faithful English rendering of the complete relevant instruction segment:

markdown
### Mode Three: Strategic Design

Trigger: The user describes a goal and wants a roadmap explaining how to achieve it.

Workflow (eight-step strategic operating system):
1. Define the game: How should the rules and narrative framework be defined?
2. Extend the game: How should a time window be created?
3. Connect the game: Who is needed, and how should they be connected?
4. Mobilize the game: How can the pieces be made to move by themselves?
5. Leverage the game: What external forces can be borrowed?
6. Conceal the game: What intentions must temporarily remain hidden?
7. Infiltrate the game: How can the result be made to appear inevitable?
8. Finish the game: When should the net be closed?

Remediation

Remediation Suggestions

  1. Restrict the strategic-design mode to transparent conduct

    • Require informed participation, lawful objectives, and good-faith negotiation.
    • Prohibit plans based on deception, coercion, impersonation, manufactured emergencies, planted insiders, isolation, sabotage, or exploitation of personal vulnerabilities.
  2. Replace covert stages

    • Replace “conceal intent” with stakeholder disclosure and legitimate confidentiality controls.
    • Replace “infiltrate” with transparent implementation and documented consent.
    • Replace “close the net” with reversible decision gates, review criteria, and accountable completion procedures.
  3. Add mandatory pre-generation safety screening

    • Identify whether the request targets a real person or organization.
    • Check for fraud, coercion, manipulation, disinformation, exploitation, or evasion of oversight.
    • Refuse harmful requests before selecting techniques or producing timelines.
  4. Limit offensive reference material to defensive use

    • Present manipulation patterns only to help users recognize, document, and resist them.
    • Do not translate those patterns into actionable offensive roadmaps.
    • Remove operational instructions that explain how to recruit insiders, isolate targets, fabricate crises, or exploit emotional vulnerabilities.
  5. Strengthen the ethics requirement

    • Replace the instruction against moral judgment with explicit safety and legality constraints.
    • Require risk analysis before tactical content is generated.
    • State that an ethics section cannot legitimize tactics otherwise prohibited by the skill's safety policy.
  6. Add safe alternatives

    • Redirect users toward transparent persuasion, mediation, stakeholder mapping, competitive analysis, consent-based negotiation, and defensive threat modeling.
    • For ambiguous requests, ask whether the goal is defensive and confi ...[truncated 56 chars]

Missing User Warnings

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The document contains extensive exploitative tactics with no warning, abuse disclaimer, or limitation to defensive education, which normalizes harmful conduct and lowers friction for misuse. Even if intended as 'strategy study,' the absence of boundaries, risk framing, or misuse prevention makes the content unsafe in a deployable agent skill.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Context-Inappropriate Capability

High
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
99% confidence
Finding

The markdown provides direct operational guidance for psychological manipulation, including how to create information asymmetry, exploit guilt, fabricate authority, isolate targets, apply social pressure, and '收割' victims. Because the stated skill is a strategy engine rather than a narrowly scoped academic harm-analysis resource, the surrounding context makes these instructions more likely to be repurposed into actionable abusive behavior.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

The title, description, triggers, and output formats are all written exclusively in Chinese, and trigger matching depends on Chinese words such as '学' and '每日'. There is no statement offering language selection or explaining that the skill is intentionally limited to Chinese users, which can violate language/locale choice policy.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The mode-selection rules are broad enough that ordinary user phrasing can trigger high-risk strategic modes without clear confirmation. In this skill, that matters because the downstream modes include adversarial framing, covert influence concepts, and stepwise strategic advice, so misclassification can lead to unintended generation of manipulative guidance.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

Using generic words like “学” or “每日” as triggers can activate the teaching mode for users who did not intend to request strategic instruction. Because the educational mode still teaches named tactics, modern cases, and combinations, accidental activation can expose users to manipulative content unnecessarily.

Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The '8-step strategic OS' explicitly includes concealment, infiltration, and timing of a '收网' phase, which packages covert influence as a reusable planning framework. In context, this is more dangerous than generic strategy content because the skill’s knowledge model is built around psychological attack surfaces, asymmetry, and incentive shaping, making misuse for manipulation or social engineering plausible.

Confidence
94% confidence
Finding

The instruction '不评判道德,只分析机制' encourages the model to bracket ethical evaluation, which can undermine safety constraints when users ask for harmful strategic advice. In a skill already centered on psychological attack surfaces and manipulative game framing, this increases the chance the model will produce optimized harmful guidance rather than bounded analysis.

Confidence
97% confidence
Finding

This file is a catalog of manipulative and exploitative strategies presented as actionable 'operations' such as inciting conflict, market manipulation, infiltration, coercion, and engineered scarcity, with no ethical framing, risk warnings, or defensive context. In a strategy skill, this materially increases the chance the content is used to facilitate social engineering, fraud, coercive influence, or anti-competitive abuse rather than neutral study.

Description-Behavior Mismatch

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

This file is not a neutral historical or defensive analysis; it systematically catalogs 72 manipulation schemes, their target psychology ('攻击维度'), and concise operational descriptions for exploiting trust, fear, emotion, scarcity, and social pressure. In an agent skill context, this materially increases the risk that the model will generate manipulative, deceptive, or coercive guidance for real-world use.

Ssd 4

Medium
Category
Not specified by scanner
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding

This section frames manipulation as an explicit eight-step operational workflow, including concealing intent, mobilizing others without their awareness, deep infiltration, and final '收网' execution. In the context of an AI skill, this is dangerous because it can be directly used to systematize deceptive influence operations rather than merely analyze them academically.

Confidence
98% confidence
Finding

This portion teaches how to exploit human decision vulnerabilities across trust, scarcity, status, identity, relationships, and cognitive bias, with concrete tactics such as false information shaping, incentive distortion, isolation, persona construction, and gradual entrapment. The skill context increases risk because the material is packaged as a reusable strategic engine, making it readily adaptable for fraud, coercive persuasion, or social-engineering campaigns.
