Visual Storyteller

Expert AI agent specializing in visual storyteller. From The Agency (github.com/msitarzewski/agency-agents).

Security Scan

The skill's description matches a visual-storytelling assistant, but its runtime instructions reference local project files (cat/ls/grep) without declaring config or filesystem access, creating an inconsistency you should review before installing.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (visual storyteller) align with the instructions and capabilities (storyboards, multimedia, cross-platform strategy). However, the agent's workflow explicitly references local project paths (ai/memory-bank/*.md, public/images/brand/) even though the skill declares no required config paths—this mismatch should be explained by the author (are these expected repository paths?).

Instruction Scope

AGENTS.md contains concrete shell commands (cat, ls, grep) that instruct the agent to read local files and directories. While reading brand guidelines and image assets is plausible for a design assistant, the skill does not declare or document these paths as required inputs. This creates scope creep: the agent may access arbitrary files under ai/ and public/, which could expose sensitive project data if present.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. This is lower risk because nothing is downloaded or written to disk by an installer.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or external endpoints are requested. The skill does not ask for unrelated secrets or cloud credentials.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not always-enabled and does not request persistent system privileges or modify other skill configs. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but is not itself a new risk here.

What to consider before installing

This skill is plausibly what it says, but it instructs the agent to read local project files (ai/memory-bank/*.md and public/images/brand/) even though no config paths are declared. Before installing, check whether those paths exist in your environment and whether they contain any sensitive data (secrets, private keys, PII). Ask the publisher to explicitly document required input files or remove hard-coded filesystem commands. If you proceed, run the skill in a sandboxed environment or a copy of your repo with sensitive files removed, and review any outputs before sharing externally. If you need higher assurance, request the owner to provide a version that accepts explicit user-supplied asset inputs rather than implicitly reading repo directories.
