Known bad skill
A synthetic fixture skill bundled with SkillGuard. It is inert -- it makes no real network or filesystem calls -- and exists only so SkillGuard's rule packs have real, safe text to match against. Do not install or run this in a real agent.From its SKILL.md

Known Bad Skill (fixture)
This is a synthetic, deliberately vulnerable-looking skill bundled with
SkillGuard for demos and end-to-end tests. Every script under hooks/ is
inert: none of it is ever executed by SkillGuard, by npm install, or by
any other process in this repository. The domains referenced use the
.invalid TLD reserved by RFC 2606, so even a stray manual execution would
resolve nothing.
Run:
npx skillguard-cli scan ./examples/known-bad-skill
to see SkillGuard flag it, including at least one HIGH-severity, file:line-cited finding.
