# SkillScan Detector v4

A fine-tuned [Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct) model for detecting security threats in AI agent skill files.

## What it does

Analyzes AI agent skill files (.md) and outputs structured JSON with:
- **Verdict**: benign or malicious
- **Labels**: specific attack types detected
- **Confidence**: 0-1 score
- **Reasoning**: human-readable explanation citing evidence from the text

## Attack types detected

| Class | F1 | Precision | Recall |
|---|---|---|---|
| path_traversal | 0.857 | 0.882 | 0.833 |
| social_engineering | 0.857 | 0.750 | 1.000 |
| prompt_injection | 0.474 | 0.941 | 0.317 |
| code_injection | 0.424 | 0.438 | 0.412 |
| supply_chain | 0.340 | 0.258 | 0.500 |
| evasion | 0.308 | 0.182 | 1.000 |
| data_exfiltration | 0.148 | 0.080 | 1.000 |

**Macro F1: 0.487** | Verdict accuracy: 85.2% | Parse failures: 1.2%
