What was found

• SG-004 Policy Override - CRITICAL (2x): Patterns that instruct the AI to ignore guidelines or take a new persona
• SG-018 Memory Poisoning - CRITICAL: Writes to CLAUDE.md or ~/.claude/memory to persist malicious instructions across sessions
• SG-070 LLM Env Redirect (env-line format) - HIGH: ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL / OPENAI_BASE_URL / *_API_KEY redirected to non-vendor host in .env / docker-compose / TOML / YAML apiBase
• SG-010 Obfuscation: Unicode - MEDIUM: Zero-width characters and RTL override characters

What to do

Read the flagged lines in the source file yourself before installing it or letting an agent load it. Every detection above links to the rule that fired, with the conditions that trigger it and remediation where one exists. Open the interactive report for evidence lines and context.

About Skillgate

Skillgate is a free scanner from Mitiga Labs for AI agent skills, hooks, MCP configs, and instruction files (SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, .claude/settings.json). It runs static rules plus an LLM judge and maps each finding to a known attack technique. Static analysis only: it never executes the file it scans. No scanner is 100% accurate - a verdict is a signal, not a guarantee. Browse all detection rules.
