Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill instructs the agent to execute a variety of shell commands using the
herdrCLI to manage workspaces and agents. - Evidence:
herdr tab create,herdr pane process-info,herdr agent start, andherdr pane runare used throughout theOn Herdrsection inSKILL.md. - Risk: The skill builds command lines using variables like
<name>and<flags>which may be derived from user input or session history. If these are not sanitized, it could lead to command injection. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is designed to ingest potentially untrusted data from external sources and use it to influence future agent actions.
- Ingestion points: The agent is instructed to read session history and visible screen content via
herdr agent read <name> --source visible(found inSKILL.md). - Boundary markers: No specific delimiters or "ignore embedded instructions" warnings are used when processing the handoff content or screen reads.
- Capability inventory: The skill has significant capabilities, including file system writes (temporary directory), clipboard access (
pbcopy), and arbitrary command execution via theherdrtoolset. - Sanitization: While there is a natural language instruction to "Redact secrets and personal information," there is no technical validation or escaping mechanism for the ingested data before it is used in subsequent commands or prompts.
- [DATA_EXPOSURE]: The skill saves session summaries, which may contain sensitive context, to the OS temporary directory and the system clipboard.
- Evidence:
SKILL.mdinstructions: "Save the handoff as Markdown to a unique file in the OS temporary directory. Copy the same text to the clipboard (pbcopy on macOS)".
