Run Train Skill Security Audit

What the author says it does (original text)

Rigor Train skill for deep learning research repositories. Use when a documented or selected training command should be run conservatively for startup verification, short-run verification, full kickoff, or resume, with command, config, seed, log, checkpoint, status, and metric evidence written to standardized `train_outputs/`. Do not use for environment setup, exploratory sweeps, speculative idea

The execution switch can run repository-documented commands without OS-level isolation

Source references: 6
What we found

The orchestrator extracts commands from the README and up to three linked documents, selects a candidate automatically, and passes the selected string to a local subprocess when `--run-selected` is enabled. Direct mode avoids shell metacharacter interpretation but does not restrict the launched program's file, process, or network abilities.

Why this matters

A malicious or compromised repository can disguise a destructive program as an inference, evaluation, or training command. Once launched, it has the host permissions granted to the current user and may modify accessible files, start child processes, or use available network access.

This risk is supported, but execution occurs only when the user explicitly enables `--run-selected`. The orchestrator extracts commands from the README, selects a target, and passes that command to the local runtime. Direct mode reduces shell-metacharacter interpretation, but the launched program is not OS-sandboxed and can access files or the network under the user's permissions. Users should inspect the selected command and execute only trusted repositories, or require an isolated executor.

Normal training and deterministic orchestration pass the controller's complete environment to the target command

Source references: 4
What we found

The shared runtime copies all of `os.environ` when no `child_env` is supplied and uses it as the subprocess environment. `run_training.py` follows this default path and does not apply the KEY/TOKEN/SECRET/PASSWORD/CREDENTIAL/AUTH filtering used by the optional model runner.

Why this matters

If the selected training program or one of its dependencies is untrusted, it can read API keys, cloud credentials, proxy authentication, database passwords, and other environment secrets, and disclose them when network access is available.

The normal training path does not supply a filtered `child_env`, so the shared runtime copies all of `os.environ` into the subprocess. An untrusted training program could read inherited API keys, tokens, or other sensitive variables. The optional model runner, by contrast, explicitly filters credential-like names. Users can ask for consistent allowlisting/filtering across every execution path or launch the skill inside an environment containing only required variables.

The optional model runner sends task details and read repository excerpts to the configured Anthropic endpoint

Source references: 5
What we found

The initial model message contains the goal, README name, all reviewed commands, and required commands. After the model uses `read_file`, up to 12,000 characters of file content are added to message history, which is then passed to `provider.complete`. The endpoint may come from the model profile or `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`.

Why this matters

Private source code, internal paths, command arguments, and research details may leave the machine for a third-party service or custom gateway. An operator of a custom endpoint can also receive this material.

The optional model entrypoint builds a message history containing the goal, README name, and reviewed commands. Repository text read through the tool is added to that history, which is then passed to the Anthropic provider. The endpoint may come from the profile, `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`, or the official service. This can disclose task details and repository excerpts to the configured service. Users should verify the profile/endpoint, exclude confidential files, and review traces before sharing them.

Complete command stdout and stderr are persisted without content redaction

Source references: 4
What we found

The stream reader writes every output chunk directly to `stdout.log` or `stderr.log`. Results expose those log paths, and the output contract describes them as complete logs; the capture limit only bounds the returned summary.

Why this matters

If a training script, dependency installer, or exception prints tokens, private URLs, data paths, or sample contents, that information remains in the output directory and may be disclosed when reports or debugging bundles are shared.

The runtime writes subprocess output chunks directly to `stdout.log` and `stderr.log` with no visible content redaction. The tail-buffer limit affects only the returned summary, not the disk logs, which the documentation calls complete. If a program prints credentials, private paths, data samples, or personal information, those values will persist in the evidence directory. Users should restrict access to that directory and inspect logs before sharing, uploading, or archiving them.

Failures and later resolutions are written by default to a cross-project lesson store in the user's home directory

Source references: 5
What we found

Whenever execution is requested, the orchestrator invokes lesson recording. It is enabled by default and writes blocker summaries, documented commands, and a directory-name-plus-README-hash fingerprint to `~/.rigorpilot/lessons.jsonl`. Secret filtering is a limited regular expression and cannot recognize every private URL, internal path, or nonstandard credential.

Why this matters

Project names, failure details, internal commands, and paths may remain in the user's home directory after project outputs are removed and may be exposed across later runs or backups.

After execution is requested, the orchestrator invokes lesson recording, which is enabled by default. Partial/blocked runs store the blocker summary, documented command, and repository fingerprint; a later success with prior failures stores resolution information. The default location is under the user's home directory, making it persistent across runs. The filter is only a regex for keywords and common token shapes and explicitly is not guaranteed, so private URLs, internal paths, or unusual secrets may be retained. Users can set `RIGORPILOT_LESSONS=0` and inspect the store.

Task-queue CPU, memory, and GPU values are scheduling declarations, not enforced resource limits

Source references: 6
What we found

The queue can launch multiple commands concurrently, but resource admission only compares declared requests with counters. Both its state and documentation explicitly describe this as request-based admission without OS enforcement.

Why this matters

A job with an inaccurate or dishonest declaration can still exhaust memory, CPU, or GPU, making the system unresponsive, interrupting other training, causing OOM failures, or consuming costly shared compute.

The queue only compares declared resource requests with accounting values and then starts jobs in a thread pool; it does not establish OS CPU, memory, or GPU limits. Both the stored scheduler state and documentation explicitly call this request-based admission rather than OS enforcement. Underreported or spiking workloads can therefore exhaust memory or contend for CPU/GPU when run in parallel. Users should keep concurrency conservative and apply real limits through containers, a job scheduler, or OS resource controls.

Inside this skill

6 instruction sections

The Skill's core behavior is to execute a selected training command and write command, log, status, metric, and checkpoint evidence into standardized `train_outputs/`.

SKILL.md:31In the instructionsOpen original file
- This skill executes a selected training command and normalizes the resulting evidence.- It does not choose the overall research goal on its own.- It does not own exploratory branching or speculative code adaptation.- It should record partial, blocked, resumed, and kicked-off states clearly.- It should preserve reproducibility context such as configs, seeds,  checkpoints, logs, metrics, and runtime assumptions when available.

The training entry point accepts an arbitrary caller-supplied `--command`. Direct argument execution is the default; native-shell execution requires an explicit selection.

The runtime persistently saves full stdout, stderr, events, and resource samples. On timeout or cancellation it terminates the child process group and may escalate to a forced kill.

The optional model-driven entry point limits the model to pre-reviewed command IDs and blocks `.git`, `.env*`, out-of-repository paths, and repository-escaping symlinks. This reduces model-driven privilege expansion but does not sandbox an approved program.
