This skill uses unauthorized sub-agent spawning to bypass safety filters, hides backend decisions from users, executes unconstrained commands, and relies on external, unverified content sources.

AI Agent Traps ↗
Hidden capability via sub-agent spawninghighsub agent spawningAML.T0053AML.T0051.001LLM06:2025

The instructions explicitly direct the agent to spawn sub-agents for visual QA, which can be used to bypass the primary agent's safety constraints by providing a limited, attacker-controlled prompt to the sub-agent. [ensemble: confirmed by 3/3 passes; severity set to the agreed median (ADR-0067).]

If you can spawn a subagent, give it ONLY the preview sheet + this checklist and ask for PASS/FIX verdicts

Implicit instruction to bypass human oversightlowoversight evasionAML.T0054LLM01:2025LLM07:2025

The instructions explicitly tell the agent to 'never surface' certain modes or choices to the user, forcing the agent to make backend decisions without human transparency.

80% confidence
Never surface 'Standard vs Cinematic vs Theme' as a question — those are backend names (a product has one UX even with several engines).
Missing allowed-tools declarationlowunauthorized tool useAML.T0053LLM06:2025

Skill executes commands, writes files, or accesses the network but declares no allowed-tools, so its tool surface cannot be reviewed or constrained.
