Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill instructs the agent to execute several shell commands to manage wiki data.
- Evidence in
SKILL.md: Usesmv <subagent-report-path> <wiki>/inbox/<basename>,wiki ingest-now <wiki>,bin/wiki capture, andwiki use project|main|bothto perform operations. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill presents a significant indirect prompt injection surface (Category 8) due to its core design of capturing and later reading external data.
- Ingestion points: External findings from research subagents, web search results, and user-provided documents or URLs are ingested into the wiki system (
SKILL.md). - Boundary markers: There are no explicit instructions in this loader for sanitizing or wrapping ingested data with boundary markers to prevent the agent from obeying instructions embedded in that data.
- Capability inventory: The agent has the capability to execute shell commands (
mv,wiki) and perform file system operations based on the ingested content (SKILL.md). - Sanitization: No sanitization or validation protocols are mentioned for processing the external data before it is read back into the context during the 'Orientation' phase.
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill's workflow frequently involves fetching data from the web or other external sources.
- Evidence in
SKILL.md: Triggers for capture include 'web search', 'doc fetch', and 'user pastes a URL', which implies the retrieval of external content into the agent's environment.
