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 explicitly shallow-clones external marketplaces (e.g., GitHub owner/repo or arbitrary git URLs via the `local-skills add <plugin>@<marketplace>/<skill>` specifier) and reads/copies skill directories into .claude/skills/, so untrusted third-party repository content is fetched and can directly influence agent 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: 1.00). The local-skills CLI shallow-clones marketplace git repositories at runtime (e.g., https://gitlab.com/team/repo.git) and then installs skill directories whose files (prompts/skill code) directly define agent behavior, so fetched remote content can control prompts or include executable code.
