literature-review
Conduct comprehensive, systematic literature reviews using multiple academic databases (PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, etc.). This skill should be used when conducting systematic literature reviews, meta-analyses, research synthesis, or comprehensive literature searches across biomedical, scientific, and technical domains. Creates professionally formatted markdown documents and PDFs with verified citations in multiple citation styles (APA, Nature, Vancouver, etc.).

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.md explicitly mandates using the parallel-web skill (e.g., "parallel-cli search" with --include-domains and "parallel-cli extract 'https://arxiv.org/abs/XXXX.XXXXX' --json") and other public data sources (gget for PubMed/bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar scraping) to fetch and read full texts/abstracts which are then screened and used to drive inclusion/exclusion, synthesis, and subsequent actions—clearly ingesting untrusted, public third‑party content that can materially influence tool use and decisions.
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 calls the OpenRouter API at runtime (https://openrouter.ai/api/v1) to generate images and return critique that is programmatically injected into and used to modify subsequent prompts, and it also lists a required install step that pipes a remote script into bash (curl -fsSL https://parallel.ai/install.sh | bash), which fetches and executes remote code — both meet the criteria for runtime external content that controls prompts or executes code.
