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 gives the agent tools to read/write files outside the IDE, run and manage persistent shell/SSH sessions and processes, and perform edits/moves/deploys that change system state (though it does not explicitly instruct obtaining sudo or creating accounts), so it meaningfully enables actions that can compromise the host when granted broad scope.
