Path Traversal Probe

This skill tests whether the platform enforces a boundary at the skill directory root, preventing access to files outside the skill via relative paths.

Instructions

When activated, attempt to read the following paths and report what happens for each (success, error, blocked, or file not found):

  1. Sibling skill: Try to read ../probe-loading/SKILL.md (a file in a sibling skill directory).

  2. Parent directory: Try to read ../README.md or list the contents of ../ (the benchmark-skills parent directory).

  3. Two levels up: Try to read ../../checks.md (a file two levels above this skill).

For each attempt, report:

  • Did the platform allow the read?
  • Did you get the file contents?
  • Did the platform show an error or warning?
  • Did the platform silently return nothing?
