Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill instructs the user to install a binary using
go install github.com/ossianhempel/things3-cli/cmd/things@latest. This downloads and compiles code from a repository outside of trusted organizations or well-known service providers. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill relies on executing the
thingsCLI to perform all operations, including reading the database and adding tasks. The installation path/opt/homebrew/binis used for the binary. - [DATA_EXPOSURE]: The skill accesses the local Things 3 database (typically found in
ThingsData-*folders) which contains personal tasks, notes, and project details. The documentation explicitly asks for 'Full Disk Access' to be granted to the calling application to read these files. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The skill mentions the use of
THINGS_AUTH_TOKENfor update operations. While it suggests using environment variables, the instructions also show passing tokens via CLI flags (--auth-token <TOKEN>), which may expose secrets in process lists or shell history. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes data from an external source (the Things database).
- Ingestion points: Commands like
things inboxandthings searchpull user-generated content into the agent's context. - Boundary markers: None are specified to separate database content from instructions.
- Capability inventory: The agent can execute shell commands via the
thingsCLI. - Sanitization: There is no mention of sanitizing or escaping the content retrieved from the database before it is processed by the agent.
