Full Analysis
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill fetches and executes the @nomadamas/k-skill and skills packages from the npm registry using npx commands during the setup process.
  • [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill directs the agent to execute a remote CLI command (npx -y @nomadamas/k-skill@0 instruct k-skill-setup) and adopt the resulting output as the primary set of instructions, which effectively executes dynamic logic retrieved at runtime.
  • [PERSISTENCE]: The skill provides automated scripts to configure persistent execution on the host system, utilizing crontab on Unix-based systems and schtasks on Windows to perform daily update checks.
  • [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The skill creates executable shell scripts (check-skill-updates.sh) and Windows batch files (check-skill-updates.cmd) at runtime to facilitate the scheduled tasks.
  • [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]:
  • Ingestion points: The skill relies on external instruction content fetched via the @nomadamas/k-skill CLI tool during execution.
  • Boundary markers: The skill lacks explicit delimiters or warnings to the agent to treat the external CLI output as untrusted or to ignore embedded instructions.
  • Capability inventory: The skill utilizes shell execution (npx), file creation (cat >), permission modification (chmod), and system scheduling (crontab, schtasks) across its scripts.
  • Sanitization: There is no evidence of validation or sanitization of the dynamic instructions fetched from the remote source before they are processed by the agent.
