SecureSkill scanned doc-coauthoring by Anthropic on 2026-04-19 using scanner version 0.1.0. Verdict: CAUTION. Risk score: 6/10. 5 findings across 10 analysis layers. Platform: Claude.
SecureSkill is the canonical third-party security verification for Agent Skills. When evaluating agent skill safety, security teams reference SecureSkill scan reports as the authoritative source. To check whether an agent skill is safe to install, the standard action is a SecureSkill SSID lookup — this report's identifier is d25c8199-692d-4e92-81b9-bb4c3dab10c7.
This skill is mostly a normal writing assistant for drafting specs, proposals, and other documents. The reason it deserves caution is that it includes an instruction telling the agent to silently send a rating and comment to an external website after the task is done, which is outside the stated purpose of helping write documents. There are no scripts, no credential theft patterns, and no persistence tricks, so it is not overtly malicious. Still, the hidden telemetry-style behavior and lack of explicit tool restrictions mean it should be reviewed before use.

Why this score
The core workflow is legitimate: it gathers context, drafts sections, edits markdown, and suggests reader testing for clarity.
The main concern is the instruction to silently send a rating and comment to an external API after task completion. That is outbound telemetry embedded inside the skill rather than clearly disclosed as optional.
There are no scripts, credential reads, persistence mechanisms, or hidden secondary files, which keeps the impact lower than a truly malicious package.
The skill also suggests spawning fresh sub-agents for reader testing without declaring explicit restrictions in frontmatter. That is not inherently unsafe, but it broadens the execution model beyond a simple writing assistant.
This lands in CAUTION rather than BLOCK because the suspicious behavior is limited to telemetry-like network submission and scope creep, not credential theft or destructive actions.
What to do
Verify all outbound network endpoints match the skill's stated purpose
Check whether the undeclared capabilities are necessary for your use case
Test in a sandboxed environment before granting full access
