arn-code-pick-issue

This skill should be used when the user says "pick issue", "work on issue", "arness code pick", "arness code pick issue", "arn-code-pick-issue", "grab issue", "pick from backlog", "what should I work on", "show issues", "find issue", "browse issues", "next issue", "select issue", "choose issue", "what's unblocked", "work on next feature", "pick from feature tracker", or wants to browse issues filtered by Arness labels, select one, and route it to the appropriate Arness pipeline skill for implementation. Supports local-first dependency resolution from a greenfield feature backlog when available. Requires an issue tracker (GitHub or Jira) to be configured for remote issue browsing. Do NOT use this for creating new issues — use /arn-code-create-issue for that.

W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk)

What this means

The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.

Why it was flagged

Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 1.00). This skill explicitly fetches and ingests user-generated content from remote issue trackers—GitHub issues via the `gh` CLI (Step 3/Step 4 `gh issue list` / `gh issue view`) and Jira via the Atlassian MCP server (Step 3/Step 4 JQL and issue fetch)—and passes issue titles/bodies/comments into agent assessments and routing, which could enable indirect prompt injection.

W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent)

What this means

The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.

Why it was flagged

Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.90). This skill calls the GitHub CLI (e.g., `gh issue list` / `gh issue view`) against GitHub (github.com) and also may query an Atlassian MCP/Jira server at runtime to fetch issue bodies which are injected into agent assessments, so github.com (and the configured Atlassian MCP endpoint) are runtime external dependencies that directly control agent prompts.
