SkillScan Detector v4 Overview

This model, developed by kurtpayne, is a fine-tuned Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct model with 1.5 billion parameters, specifically designed for security threat detection in AI agent skill files (.md). It processes these files to identify potential vulnerabilities and outputs a structured JSON response.

Key Capabilities

  • Threat Analysis: Determines if a skill file is "benign" or "malicious."
  • Attack Type Labeling: Identifies specific attack types such as path_traversal, social_engineering, prompt_injection, code_injection, supply_chain, evasion, and data_exfiltration.
  • Confidence Scoring: Provides a 0-1 confidence score for its verdict.
  • Reasoning: Offers human-readable explanations, citing evidence from the analyzed text.
  • Performance: Achieves a macro F1 score of 0.487 and a verdict accuracy of 85.2%, with a low parse failure rate of 1.2%.
  • Efficiency: Quantized to GGUF Q4_K_M (935 MB) for CPU-only inference, typically processing a file in 2-4 seconds.

Good for

  • Developers and security professionals needing to automate security scanning of AI agent skill files.
  • Integrating into CI/CD pipelines for proactive vulnerability detection in AI agent development.
  • Analyzing skill files for specific threats like prompt injection and path traversal.

This model is a core component of the skillscan-security open-source CLI scanner.
