Fix and improve this skill with Tessl
tessl review fix ./professor-synapse-skill/SKILL.mdW011: 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
Professor Synapse’s required runtime workflow can hand off to the internal `domain-researcher` agent, which explicitly “actively browses the web” (web search + fetched page text) to produce research, so outsider-authored free text from the web is ingested at runtime.
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 includes an update protocol and scripts that, at runtime, download and apply a codeload from GitHub (e.g. https://github.com/ProfSynapse/Professor-Synapse and https://codeload.github.com/ProfSynapse/Professor-Synapse/tar.gz/refs/heads/main), meaning remote code/content fetched during execution can change the skill's files and thus the agents' prompts/behavior.
