Self-Improving Proactive Agent

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a local memory and follow-through helper with clear boundaries and no executable code or hidden external behavior.

Before installing, be aware that this skill keeps persistent local notes about preferences, corrections, task state, and proactive follow-up. Use it only if you want that behavior, and avoid putting secrets or sensitive credentials into its memory files.

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
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Autonomous Decision Making

Medium
Category
Excessive Agency
Confidence
75% confidence
Finding

Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

- repeated 3x in 7 days → promote to HOT
- unused 30 days → demote to WARM
- unused 90 days → archive
- never delete confirmed preferences without asking

### Proactive patterns
- keep only moves that repeatedly create value

This skill NEVER:
- infers durable rules from silence
- sends messages, spends money, deletes data, or makes commitments without approval
- stores credentials or secrets in memory files
- rewrites unrelated files without the user asking for integration
