semi-trusted-roles

semi-trusted-roles is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PlamenTSV/plamen. It costs 29 tokens per session (3,166 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review guide for Aptos Move protocols that examines semi-trusted roles, such as administrators and operators, and the permissions their capability tokens provide.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list privileged roles, check their access controls, and trace what functions, state, and external calls each role can reach.
Why use it?
It helps reveal attack paths between privileged users and roles, including permissions that can change protocol state or make external calls.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Anti-Refusal · line 200
    Skill instructs the agent to never refuse or to always comply. Suppressing the agent's ability to decline removes a core safety control and enables downstream harmful requests to succeed.
    Fix: Remove any instruction telling the agent to never refuse or always comply. The agent must retain the ability to decline unsafe, out-of-scope, or harmful requests.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

semi-trusted-roles 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 10d 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.

SEMI_TRUSTED_ROLES Skill

Trigger Pattern: SEMI_TRUSTED_ROLE flag (required) Inject Into: Breadth agents, depth-state-trace Purpose: Analyze semi-trusted roles in Aptos Move protocols using capability-based access control, modeling both role-to-user and user-to-role attack vectors

Trigger Patterns

signer|SignerCapability|AdminCap|OperatorCap|KeeperCap|has_role|
assert_admin|assert_operator|friend|acquires|ExtendRef|
DeleteRef|TransferRef|MintRef|BurnRef

Reasoning Template

Step 1: Inventory Role Permissions

Enumerate ALL privileged roles in the protocol:

Role Capability / Check Module Functions Callable State Modifiable External Calls
{role} {SignerCapability / custom Cap struct / signer check / friend} {module} {fn list} {state list} {calls list}

Aptos capability patterns to inventory:

  • SignerCapability: Stored in resource, allows generating a signer for the capability's address. Can call any function requiring that signer.
  • Custom capability structs: AdminCap, OperatorCap etc. -- often stored in the deployer's account or an Object
  • Signer checks: assert!(signer::address_of(account) == @admin, E_NOT_ADMIN) -- direct address comparison
  • Friend declarations: friend module::other -- allows other to call public(friend) functions
  • Object Refs: ExtendRef, DeleteRef, TransferRef, MintRef, BurnRef -- object-level capabilities
  • Resource account patterns: Module creates a resource account and stores its SignerCapability

For each role at {ROLE_FUNCTIONS}:

  • What state does it modify?
  • What external calls does it make (via CPI or module calls)?
  • What parameters does it accept?

Step 2: Analyze Within-Scope Abuse (Direction A: Malicious Role)

For each permitted action, ask:

Timing Abuse:

  • Can {ROLE_NAME} execute at harmful times? (front-run users via transaction ordering, during rebalance)
  • Can {ROLE_NAME} delay execution to harm users? (withhold keeper actions)

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

semi-trusted-roles is a skill published in the GitHub repository PlamenTSV/plamen (295 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 3,166 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
