create-agent-template
Generate Harness Agent Template files for AI-powered automation agents. Produces metadata.json, pipeline.yaml (v1 syntax), and wiki.MD files. Agents automate tasks like code review, security scanning, test generation, and documentation. This is a YAML generation skill. Use when asked to create an agent template, build an AI agent, create an automation agent, generate agent pipeline files, or set up a Harness agent. Trigger phrases: create agent template, agent template, AI agent, automation agent, build agent, code review agent, security scanner agent, Harness agent.

2 findings — 2 medium severity. This skill can be installed but you should review these findings before use.
W011: 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
Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.90). The skill's required pipeline.yaml (see the clone sections and examples in SKILL.md and references/agent-examples.md) explicitly clones arbitrary repositories via <+inputs.repo> and then runs coding_agent / analyze_and_generate LLM steps that ingest and act on that repo content (e.g., generating reviews, docs, or PRs), meaning untrusted third-party repository content could indirectly inject instructions that change behavior.
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
Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.80). The pipelines pull and run external container images at runtime (e.g., myregistry/coding-agent:latest), which are fetched when the skill runs and execute remote code that the agent depends on.
