When Safe Skills Collide: Measuring Compositional Risk in Agent Skill Ecosystems

Researchers present SkillReact, a framework measuring compositional safety risks in LLM agent skill ecosystems, finding that 18.2% of individually-safe skill pairs create genuine safety vulnerabilities when combined—risks missed by per-skill scanning alone. Testing on 211,575 skill pairs from ClawHub reveals model-dependent execution risk, with smaller models like Haiku more likely to execute unsafe tool chains than larger models like Sonnet.

HarmfulSkillBench: How Do Harmful Skills Weaponize Your Agents?

Researchers have identified that 4.93% of skills in major LLM agent ecosystems are harmful and can be weaponized for cyberattacks, fraud, and privacy violations. The study reveals that presenting harmful tasks through pre-installed skills dramatically reduces AI model refusal rates, with harm scores increasing from 0.27 to 0.76 when intent is implicit rather than explicit.
