Highest confirmed finding severity

Critical

1 confirmed security finding requires attention.

Installation context

Historical evidence

This report may not describe the currently installable artifact. Open the current Skill page for install guidance.

Open current Skill page

This report does not block or authorize the manifest or ZIP.

Static command execution findings at SKILL.md lines 16 and 26 are false positives caused by Markdown backticks and a DOT diagram. Static weak crypto findings at lines 3 and 72 are false positives because those lines describe skill usage and priorities, not cryptography. The skill contains prompt-injection style instructions that attempt to override assistant behavior and tool selection, so it should not be published.

Risk findings

Confirmed security concerns are separated from items that still need review.

Confirmed security concerns (1)

RISK-001 Critical
Prompt Injection Attempt Detected
The skill uses imperative override language, including 'ABSOLUTELY MUST', 'you do not have a choice', and 'follow it directly'. It also tells the assistant to never use the Read tool on skill files. These instructions attempt to control the assistant's instruction hierarchy and tool use across every conversation.
The suspicious language is explicit and repeated in the skill text. It directly instructs the assistant to prioritize the skill's commands before responses and to avoid normal file-reading behavior.

Analysis metadata

Audit model: codex

Analysis state: Complete

Scope is limited to the recorded files, lines, methods, and evidence. No runtime or sandbox execution is claimed.

Static false positives ignored (2)
Low
False Positive: Markdown Backticks Flagged as Shell Execution
SKILL.md line 16 contains an inline Markdown reference to the Skill tool, and lines 26 through 46 contain a DOT diagram. No Ruby, shell backtick execution, or command invocation is present.
The flagged content is Markdown formatting and a graph description. There is no executable language context or shell command syntax.
Low
False Positive: Weak Cryptography Pattern
SKILL.md lines 3 and 72 contain prose about skill invocation and priority ordering. No hashing, encryption, cipher selection, or cryptographic API appears on those lines.
The exact lines are plain English documentation. They do not reference MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, or any cryptographic operation.

Verify and export

The manifest and lockfile bind install artifacts to cryptographic hashes. This integrity claim is separate from the security assessment.
