Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill instructs the agent to run
npx -y skills-ref validate, which downloads and executes a package from the npm registry at runtime without version pinning or integrity checks. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The validation workflow fetches the
skills-refpackage from the public npm registry during execution. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill invokes the
npxutility to execute external validation logic on the filesystem. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill ingests content from existing
SKILL.mdfiles to drive its improvement logic, which creates a surface for indirect prompt injection. - Ingestion points: Reads
SKILL.mdfiles from~/.agents/skills/,~/.pi/agent/skills/, and project-local directories. - Boundary markers: The instructions lack delimiters or specific directives to ignore or sanitize instructions embedded within the files being processed.
- Capability inventory: The skill has the ability to read from and write to the local filesystem and execute shell commands via
npx. - Sanitization: There is no evidence of sanitization or validation of the content read from external skill files before it is processed by the agent.
