- Capability inventory: The skill has permissions to read the entire project structure and source code, write report files, modify existing backlog files, and perform Git operations including checkout, commit, and push.
- Sanitization: There is no mechanism described for sanitizing or filtering the external content before it is processed by the agent.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill utilizes shell commands and external tool invocations to fulfill its research and persistence tasks.
