What is thesis-proposal-skills?

Project settings that allow the agent to run a defined set of research, document, testing, version-control, and proposal commands.

Searching academic literature, checking proposal work, reading PDFs, running tests and code checks, and inspecting Git history and changes.

They restrict command use to listed tools, which helps the agent work within the project's approved actions.

Security

Grade A, and why

thesis-proposal-skills scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
