Exclude Prompt Data

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill only guides the agent to keep prompt wording out of generated files and shows no hidden execution, data access, or persistence.

Installers should understand that this skill may make the agent rewrite prompt-derived wording into cleaner standalone content, but the artifact is transparent and contains no executable behavior or hidden data handling.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • System Prompt LeakageDirect Leakage, Indirect Extraction, Tool-Based Exfiltration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

## Core Rule

> **Never echo prompt content into the file being changed.**
>
> Only write the outcome. Strip any meta-commentary, rationale, or framing that
