Full Analysis
  • [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill manages a 'council' where outputs from multiple LLMs are processed and synthesized. This creates an indirect prompt injection surface where a member's output could attempt to influence the 'boss' model's synthesis. The skill implements robust defenses against this:
  • Ingestion points: Member proposal outputs are captured in references/harness-invocation.md (_member_call).
  • Boundary markers: It uses a structured anon_block (JSON array) and explicit instructions to the boss model in Council.deliberate to ignore directives inside data fields.
  • Capability inventory: The system executes shell commands via subprocess.Popen in references/harness-invocation.md (_run).
  • Sanitization: Implements a strict _valid_contract check during JSON extraction to ensure outputs meet specific schema requirements before being accepted.
  • [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes external CLI tools (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) via Python's subprocess module. It adheres to security best practices for command execution:
  • Uses argument lists instead of shell strings to prevent shell injection.
  • Implements process-group termination (os.killpg) to prevent leaked grandchild processes.
  • Enforces hard timeouts and uses an empty scratch directory (cwd) for execution to isolate potential side effects.
  • Implements environment variable scrubbing and allowlisting to prevent credential leakage to child processes.
  • [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Contains references to official documentation and community repositories for various LLM CLI tools. These are provided for informational purposes and are not used for automated downloads or runtime execution.
