Distill Self-Improving

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a user-directed local file indexing and summarization workflow with disclosed writes to a local knowledge directory and no hidden background, network, credential, or original-file mutation behavior.

Install only if you want a local persistent knowledge index under ~/.agent-knowledge/. Use it on clearly scoped directories or files, and avoid selecting sensitive folders unless you are comfortable with file paths, metadata, and derived summaries being retained locally.

Finding
The skill advertises a content-distillation workflow but also references validator/tooling behaviors (`describe`, `explain`, `self-test`) that can create, copy, modify, and delete files, which materially exceeds a user's expectation of passive knowledge organization. This kind of description-behavior mismatch is dangerous because users and policy systems may approve the skill under a narrower trust model, while the actual available operations include broader filesystem effects and unrelated command functionality.
