Work Productivity SkillScan Security Workflow Helper
Use this skill as a pre-activation or pre-publish security gate for skill folders. It focuses on practical review steps an agent can perform locally before a user trusts a skill.
Read references/requirement-plan.md when you need demand evidence or acceptance criteria.
Scan Scope
Establish:
- Skill folder path and intended runtime.
- Files that execute code: scripts, package manifests, agent configs, hooks, or generated binaries.
- Declared tools, network calls, file writes, and credential touchpoints.
- Whether the review is advisory, blocking, or release-gating.
Workflow
- Inventory the skill folder and separate instructions, references, scripts, assets, and generated files.
- Inspect executable content for destructive commands, shell injection, credential exposure, unsafe downloads, and broad filesystem writes.
- Review
SKILL.mdtriggers for overbroad activation or misleading capability claims. - Check dependencies and scripts for pinned versions, install-time behavior, and external network use.
- Produce findings with severity, evidence, affected file, and recommended fix.
- Decide pass, pass with warnings, or block, based on the user's gate policy.
Guardrails
- Do not execute untrusted scripts unless the user asks and the environment is appropriate.
- Prefer static inspection before dynamic tests.
- Treat secrets, tokens, private URLs, and copied user content as sensitive.
- Keep findings actionable and tied to exact files.
Outputs
- Skill security scan report.
- Blocking findings and remediation checklist.
- Safe publish or activation recommendation.
- Follow-up validation commands when dynamic testing is appropriate.
Validation Checklist
- Executable files and dependencies were inspected.
- Any risky operation has a file reference and severity.
- The final pass/block decision matches the evidence.
- The user can remediate each finding without guessing.
