branchout
Use when working in a manyrepo workspace managed by Branchout (~/projects/*/), finding repos the user mentions by name (even if not exactly) within the naming-convention-based folder structure, cloning updating or adding repos, running isolated builds via wrappers like branchout mvn or branchout yarn, or when someone mentions Branchout or asks what Branchout is. Detect by Branchoutfile or .branchout in current or parent directories.

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: 0.80). The skill runs branchout init with a runtime git URL (e.g. https://github.com/<org>/<projection-repo>.git) which fetches a projection repo whose Branchoutfile/Branchoutprojects directly control what repos are cloned/acted on (and therefore can cause remote code to be pulled/executed), so this is a runtime external dependency.
