Medium

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

This skill explicitly requires running an administrator PowerShell and instructs overwriting files under "C:\Program Files" (Visual Studio/MSBuild binaries), which modifies system-level installation state and can break the host system.
