Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Fetches the
create-agent-harnesspackage from the npm registry usingnpx. This is a standard and expected operation for project scaffolding utilities. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Executes system commands to create and manage the generated harness project.
- Orchestrates project creation via
npx create-agent-harness. - Instructs the agent on using standard lifecycle commands such as
npm install,npm test, andnpm publish. - Implements a security best practice by requiring a
witness.jsonEd25519-signed provenance manifest to verify code integrity. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: Identified an indirect prompt injection surface where user-provided inputs are interpolated into a shell command.
- Ingestion points: User-supplied values for the harness name and description in the
SKILL.mdfile. - Boundary markers: None are defined to isolate user input from the shell execution environment.
- Capability inventory: The skill has the capability to execute arbitrary commands via the package manager (
npx,npm). - Sanitization: There is no mention of validation or sanitization for the harness name or description strings before they are processed by the shell command.
