W007: Insecure credential handling detected in skill instructions

What this means

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.

Why it was flagged

Insecure credential handling detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill instructs the agent to ask for a credentials file or manual key entry, parse/extract API keys, and populate/validate a .env (potentially requiring the agent to handle or emit raw secret values), which creates a high exfiltration risk.

W008: Secret detected in skill content (API keys, tokens, passwords)

What this means

Detected sensitive credentials directly embedded within the skill content, such as API keys, access tokens, private keys, or service-specific secrets. Secrets should never be hardcoded in plain text within skill instructions.

Why it was flagged

Secret detected (high risk: 1.00). I flagged the documentation because it contains literal, high-entropy credential-like values that appear usable. Specifically, in "Format 3: Mixed/Informal" the text includes:
