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

The skill explicitly requires root/sudo (prerequisite), runs package installation (apt-get), writes to system configuration (/etc/udev/rules.d/99-writeblock.rules), and executes device-modifying commands (blockdev --setro, mkdir under /cases, ssh root@remote), all of which modify the host system state and require elevated privileges.
