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: 0.90). The skill explicitly fetches and displays user-generated issue content from third-party trackers (GitHub via `gh issue list` / `gh issue view` and Jira via the Atlassian MCP calls described in Steps 3–4), and Step 5 states the agent will read the issue title/body/comments to determine assessments and routing decisions—so untrusted remote content can directly influence tool use and next actions.

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). The skill invokes the gh CLI against a GitHub remote (origin URL must contain "github.com") and queries an Atlassian MCP/Jira server at runtime to fetch issue bodies which are then injected into downstream agent prompts, so remote content from github.com and the MCP server can directly control agent instructions.
