Full Analysis
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill documents methods for reading data from the local filesystem into the agent's context, which can lead to indirect prompt injection if the files being processed contain malicious instructions.
  • Ingestion points: The skill provides patterns for 'fs.readFileString', 'fs.readFile', and 'fs.readDirectory' (references/02-reading-operations.md).
  • Boundary markers: The reference material lacks instructions for implementing delimiters or security warnings (e.g., 'ignore embedded instructions') when processing file content.
  • Capability inventory: The skill documents powerful capabilities that an injected prompt could abuse, including recursive directory removal, file writing, and permission modifications (references/03-writing-operations.md, references/04-file-operations.md).
  • Sanitization: There is no guidance or example for sanitizing, validating, or escaping content read from files before it is used by the agent.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The documentation includes detailed examples for modifying file system metadata and permissions.
  • Evidence: The skill provides code patterns for 'fs.chmod' (changing file modes) and 'fs.chown' (changing ownership) in 'references/07-permission-operations.md'.
