honest-agent
Verdict safe, but 1 finding (1 info), mainly policy violation. Most recent scan 2026-05-09.
Second scanner: NVIDIA SkillSpector
Independent static run, no language model, over the same files as the Cisco scan above. How the two scanners compare across the whole corpus: Two scanners, one corpus.
What this skill does
Detect installed AI coding agents and append honest-feedback rules to their instruction files. Scans for config files (CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions.md, .cursorrules, etc.), adapts output format per agent, and appends directives that disable sycophancy and enable constructive pushback. Use when setting up honest feedback, disabling people-pleasing, or enabling objective criticism. Triggers on honest agent, objective feedback, no sycophancy, honest criticism, contradict me, challenge assumptions, honest mode, brutal honesty.

What we checked
- Static analyzer. Pattern rules over SKILL.md and bundled files: known-bad commands, exfiltration URLs, secrets, obfuscation.
- Bytecode analyzer.
- Pipeline analyzer.
- Behavioral analyzer. Checks what the skill asks the agent to do against what its description claims it does.
- Trigger analyzer. Looks for instructions that fire on conditions the user did not ask for.
What we did not check
- Runtime behaviour. The skill was not executed; findings come from reading its files.
- Anything fetched at install or run time, including remote scripts, package dependencies, and URLs the skill tells the agent to open.
- Content the analyzers cannot read: images, binaries, and some non-English text.
- Known scanner bypass classes. See the methodology and limitations page.
