Risk Level: SAFEINDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTIONEXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS
Full Analysis
- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill's workflow involves fetching and summarizing external academic papers, which creates a surface for indirect prompt injection attacks. Malicious instructions embedded in a paper's text could attempt to hijack the agent's behavior during synthesis.
- Ingestion points: Untrusted content from papers is extracted and stored in
source.mdandcard.mdfiles under theresearch/collection/directories. - Boundary markers: The skill uses a structured metadata schema (
card.md) to manage paper data, which provides some structural isolation, but the primary text remains unverified. - Capability inventory: The agent can write to the file system, manage git issues and branches via
project:epic-dev, and execute CLI commands viauvx. - Sanitization: There are no explicit instructions to sanitize the text extracted from external sources for adversarial prompt patterns.
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill depends on the
openciteCLI utility, invoked via theuvxpackage runner, to retrieve paper metadata and PDFs. This is a functional dependency appropriate for the skill's intended use in academic research.
