Deep security analysis of an individual skill before installation
Deep security analysis of an individual skill before installation
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Perform deep security analysis of a single skill directory before installation. Checks for all known injection techniques from AI agent security research.
Run the scanner against the target skill directory: python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/scan_skill.py" "$ARGUMENTS" Where $ARGUMENTS is the path to the skill directory to analyze. If no argument is provided, prompt the user for the path to the skill they want to scan.
SKILL.md frontmatter analysis (dangerous field combinations, hidden skills, pre-approved tools) Hidden HTML comments with imperative instructions Shell command patterns (remote-code-pipe-to-shell, encoded payloads) Description persistence triggers (forced repeated execution keywords) Supporting files analysis (scripts/ directory contents, executable permissions) Dynamic context injection (preprocessor command execution) Encoding and obfuscation (base64, hex, zero-width characters) Instruction override attempts (context manipulation, role impersonation)
Structured report with severity-ranked findings and specific recommendations per finding. Includes frontmatter analysis summary and supporting file inventory.
