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
The skill instructs writing scripts and backups to system directories (/var/backups, /opt, /etc), scheduling cron jobs for another user (postgres), and references systemctl — all actions that modify the machine state and typically require elevated privileges.
