Vulnerability Type:T01: Skill Instruction Hijacking
Risk Level: LowRelevant code snippets translated into English:
SKILL.md:56markdown > Based on the Chapter 4 framework of “AI Super Individual: One-Person Company Wealth Manual”SKILL.md:199markdown > This report was generated by OPC-AI Skill (opc-modeler), based on the “AI Super Individual” manuscript framework.Technical Analysis
The fixed output template directs the agent to add book and Skill branding to generated business-model reports. These attribution statements are unrelated to the substantive analysis requested by the user and are included without an instruction to obtain informed user consent.
Because the attribution is embedded in the Skill's prescribed report template, an agent following the Skill will reproduce it in interactive responses and exported Markdown files. This constitutes limited output-level instruction hijacking: the Skill modifies the final deliverable to carry third-party promotional or provenance claims rather than limiting its instructions to the requested business-modeling function.
This finding does not involve code execution, credential access, privilege escalation, network communication, persistence, or modification of safety controls.
Attack Path
- A user activates the
opc-modelerSkill and provides business-planning information. - The agent follows the mandatory report template in
SKILL.md. - The template inserts the referenced book attribution near the beginning of the report.
- The template inserts additional Skill and manuscript branding at the end of the report.
- If the user requests file export, the unsolicited attribution is preserved in the generated Markdown document.

Remediation Suggestions
- Remove mandatory book, manuscript, and Skill branding from the default report template.
- Keep generated reports focused on user-requested business-model content.
- If attribution is legitimately required, clearly disclose it before report generation and obtain explicit user consent.
- Provide an opt-in parameter such as
include_attribution, defaulting tofalse. - Ensure exported files preserve the user's attribution preference.
- Review future template changes for unrelated promotional text, provenance claims, or instructions that alter user-facing output beyond the Skill's stated function.
