Full Analysis
MEDIUM W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).

MEDIUM W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
- Potentially malicious external URL detected (medium risk: 0.30). The skill contains an optional install instruction (
npx skills add Varnan-Tech/opendirectory --skill hackernews-intelin README.md) which pulls and installs code from an unofficial GitHub repository (Varnan-Tech/opendirectory), representing an unverifiable runtime external dependency.
