Fix and improve this skill with Tessl
tessl review fix ./skills/search-first/SKILL.mdThe 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.
The skill instructs the agent to search public package registries (npm/PyPI) and GitHub for existing tools and libraries, allowing ingestion of community-published package descriptions or READMEs via active search.
