Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses the
npxutility to execute theskillsCLI tool for searching (find), checking (check), and updating (update) skill packages. - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The
npx skills add <package>command downloads and installs modular packages from external sources like GitHub. The instructions specifically recommend using the-yflag, which bypasses confirmation prompts, and the-gflag for global installation, increasing the risk of executing untrusted code without user oversight. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill interacts with the
skills.shregistry and various GitHub repositories to fetch skill definitions and executable content. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted metadata from the open skill ecosystem via
npx skills find. A malicious package could include instructions in its description or name designed to influence the agent's behavior during the search or installation process. - Ingestion points: Output from the
npx skills find [query]command inSKILL.md. - Boundary markers: None explicitly used for search result interpolation.
- Capability inventory: Subprocess execution via
npx, global package installation, and remote code updates. - Sanitization: The instructions provide manual heuristics (checking stars and install counts) but no automated sanitization of search results.
