Security
1 high severity finding. You should review these findings carefully before considering using this skill.
The skill handles credentials insecurely by requiring the agent to include secret values verbatim in its generated output. This exposes credentials in the agent’s context and conversation history, creating a risk of data exfiltration.
Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 0.80). The prompt instructs the agent to read and include the full contents of project files (e.g., product-concept.md and other references) in outgoing agent invocations and the generated report, so any secrets embedded in those files would be reproduced verbatim and could be exfiltrated.
