Risk Level: SAFEINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION
Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is designed to ingest and explain untrusted data, such as code, error logs, and documentation, which creates a surface for indirect prompt injection attacks.
- Ingestion points: The skill reads user-supplied text or repository-local files to generate explanations, as documented in the
workflowsection ofSKILL.mdandrules/explanation-method.md. - Boundary markers: The skill instructions and evaluation cases in
assets/evals/eli5-cases.jsonl(specificallyeli5-source-injection) explicitly direct the agent to "identify the injected instruction rather than follow it" and "distinguish observed facts from interpretation." - Capability inventory: The skill is scoped to read-only capabilities and does not have file-write or dangerous network permissions.
- Sanitization: The instructions focus on cognitive filtering—identifying and ignoring instructions within the source material—rather than programmatic sanitization.
- [SAFE]: The skill explicitly forbids making personalized medical, legal, or financial recommendations, instructing the agent to maintain professional boundaries and preserve uncertainty in these domains.
- [SAFE]: The skill includes detailed validation rules and regression test cases (e.g.,
eli5-regression-no-baby-talk) to ensure it does not use demographic stereotypes or patronizing language when simplifying concepts.
