Full Analysis
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill provides detailed reference guides and templates for configuring sub-agents with a high-privilege
bypassPermissionsmode. This mode is designed to skip all security prompts for tool execution, which represents a significant privilege escalation risk if applied to untrusted or externally-influenced agents. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The reference guides document and provide examples for using lifecycle hooks (
PreToolUse,PostToolUse) and MCP server definitions that allow for the execution of arbitrary shell commands. Examples include running validation scripts and usingnpxto execute packages. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill facilitates a high-risk workflow where it ingests natural language requirements to generate executable agent and skill definitions. This creates a surface for indirect prompt injection if the generated logic or system prompts are not properly sanitized.
- Ingestion points: User-provided requirements for tool creation or modification processed in
SKILL.md. - Boundary markers: The templates provided in the reference guides lack explicit boundary markers or instructions to ignore embedded commands in processed data.
- Capability inventory: The generated tools are intended to have significant capabilities, including file system modification (
Edit,Write) and shell access (Bash). - Sanitization: There are no instructions for the AI to sanitize user-provided descriptions or logic before incorporating them into the generated tool's system prompts.
- [PERSISTENCE]: The skill enables and documents the configuration of persistent memory scopes (
user,project,local). This allows agents to maintain state, learned patterns, and architectural knowledge across different sessions and projects.
