SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill acts as a crucial pre-installation security gate, scanning AI agent skills for potential vulnerabilities and malicious code before they are integrated into your system.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vulnerability Scanning: Detects dangerous code patterns (command injection, code execution), prompt injection risks, and dependency supply chain issues.
  • Pre-Install Verification: Ensures that skills from untrusted sources are safe to use, preventing potential system compromise.
  • Use Case: Before installing a new community-contributed skill, run the skill-security-auditor against its directory to receive a clear PASS/WARN/FAIL verdict and detailed remediation advice.

Quick Start

Use the skill-security-auditor to audit the local skill directory located at '/path/to/skill-name/'.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan AI agent skills for security vulnerabilities before installation?

To scan AI agent skills for security vulnerabilities before installation, you can run an auditing tool against the local skill directory to analyze Python and Bash scripts for malicious code, providing a PASS/WARN/FAIL verdict with remediation guidance.

What is prompt injection detection in Markdown files?

Prompt injection detection in Markdown files is the process of analyzing text content to identify malicious instructions hidden in documentation that could manipulate an AI agent's behavior, preventing unauthorized command execution during skill integration.

Can I audit Python and Bash scripts for command execution risks?

Yes, you can audit Python and Bash scripts for command execution risks by scanning the skill directory to detect dangerous code patterns like command injection and code execution vulnerabilities, returning a clear security verdict.

How do I check dependency supply chain integrity for untrusted AI skills?

You check dependency supply chain integrity for untrusted AI skills by running a pre-installation security audit that analyzes external dependencies for potential supply chain issues, ensuring community-contributed skills are safe to integrate.

Does this vulnerability scanner work on local skill directories?

Yes, this vulnerability scanner works on local skill directories by analyzing the specified local path to detect execution risks, prompt injection, and dependency issues, outputting a clear PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict.

What are the limitations of pre-installation security scanning for AI skills?

A limitation of pre-installation security scanning for AI skills is that it analyzes static code patterns and local dependencies, meaning dynamically loaded payloads or runtime environment exploits might not be detected before installation.
