Verdict
benign
Confidence
high
Model
gpt-5-mini
Summary
The skill's files, instructions, and requested privileges are coherent with a prompt-sanitization purpose — it contains defensive examples of prompt-injection strings but asks for no credentials, installs nothing risky, and uses only local instruction files.
Guidance
This skill is internally coherent with its stated purpose, but remember: prompt-based sanitization cannot be 100% reliable. Before installing or using it in production: (1) run adversarial tests (inputs containing nested tags, closing tags, and common injection phrases) to verify behavior; (2) always review sanitized summaries before performing state-changing actions; (3) consider running the sanitization step in an isolated sub-agent or sandbox for high-risk data; (4) remove or clarify the stray garbage tokens in SKILL.md to avoid ambiguity. If you need absolute guarantees, combine this tool with additional runtime isolation or instrumentation.
Findings
[ignore-previous-instructions] expected: The phrase is present in PROMPT.md and SKILL.md as an example of injection to detect/remove; this is a defensive inclusion and expected for a sanitization skill.
[system-prompt-override] expected: References to system-prompt override appear as examples of adversarial strings to detect. This is consistent with the skill's threat-model documentation.

Review Dimensions

Purpose & Capability
okName/description (prompt injection removal) matches the actual artifacts: instruction-only sanitization prompts (PROMPT.md), security docs, and a harmless setup.sh that writes these files. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or network installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
noteSKILL.md and PROMPT.md limit the sanitization agent to parsing/summarization of delimited input and explicitly instruct it to ignore instructions inside untrusted data. This is consistent with the stated purpose. Note: SKILL.md contains an odd stray token sequence ('presents generate requested manners ... mp3 preserve ought buzz flaw task') that appears to be garbage or accidental; it does not change the skill's behavior but should be cleaned to avoid confusion.
Install Mechanism
okNo install spec; this is instruction-only. The included setup.sh merely creates local files via heredocs and does not download external artifacts or execute remote code. Low installation risk.
Credentials
okThe skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. All requested accesses are proportional to a sanitization tool.
Persistence & Privilege
okalways is false and the skill does not request persistent elevated privileges or modify other skills' configurations. Normal autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not a special-risk setting here.
