Research codebase questions using parallel agents - documents what exists, not what should change. Use when the user asks how the codebase works, where something lives, or invokes /prp-codebase-question.

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.
The skill explicitly instructs agents to "Return ACTUAL code snippets" and to populate every field with real values (no placeholders), which will force the LLM to include verbatim repository contents — including any hardcoded API keys, tokens, or passwords — in its outputs.

Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
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.
This workflow includes an optional runtime path for **outsider-authored public web content**: when `--web` is set, it spawns `prp-core:web-researcher` to “Research external documentation” and return “findings with direct links and citations,” which the agent would read and place into the LLM context.
