Full Analysis
- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The skill instructions require the agent to launch worker TUIs using the
--dangerously-skip-permissionsflag for Claude and the--yoloflag for Codex. These flags are explicitly designed to bypass the per-action security confirmation prompts that usually serve as a safety barrier, allowing workers to execute potentially dangerous tools or commands without interactive human approval. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The orchestration flow creates a vulnerability where the controller agent processes data generated by worker TUIs.
- Ingestion points: Untrusted worker output enters the agent's context through
rtk herdr pane readandrtk herdr agent readcommands documented inSKILL.mdandreferences/plan-mode.md. - Boundary markers: The skill suggests using 'delegation packets' for objective definition, but lacks strict structural delimiters to prevent worker output from being interpreted as controller instructions.
- Capability inventory: The agent possesses full control over the
herdrsocket, enabling workspace management, tool execution via workers, and filesystem interaction. - Sanitization: The skill relies on manual human or controller verification (reviewing diffs, re-running test commands) rather than automated filtering or sanitization of external content.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill extensively uses the
rtk herdrCLI suite to manage complex terminal environments. This includes the ability to send automated keyboard sequences (e.g.,shift+tab,enter) and raw prompt text to interactive processes, which allows for sophisticated but potentially difficult-to-monitor execution chains across multiple agent sessions.
