W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.
What this means
The skill prompts the agent to compromise the security or integrity of the user’s machine by modifying system-level services or configurations, such as obtaining elevated privileges, altering startup scripts, or changing system-wide settings.
Why it was flagged
The skill documentation explicitly includes a "sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr" command, which instructs using elevated privileges to modify system packages and thus encourages changing the machine state.
Low
Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
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
The skill makes runtime API calls to OpenRouter (base URL "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1") from scripts (e.g., convert_with_ai.py and generate_schematic_ai.py) to obtain model responses and images that directly drive prompt-based generation, critique, and iterative control flow, so this external endpoint is a runtime dependency that controls agent behavior.
