HIGHFenced code block that tells the agent to run a commandSS-SKILL-INJECT-FENCED-RUN-01 · Prompt injection · CLAUDE.md
HIGH — a successful fenced-imperative injection runs attacker-supplied shell on the user's machine.
Why it matters

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

How to fix
Remove the runnable block, or rewrite it as a non-executable example the agent will not act on.
  1. Delete the imperative ("run this", "execute the following") from inside the fence.
  2. If you must show setup, label the block text (not bash) so it reads as prose, not a command.
  3. Move any real installer into a reviewed, version-pinned script in the repo and link to it.

HIGH"Ignore previous instructions" command embedded in the skillSS-SKILL-INJECT-IGNORE-01 · Prompt injection · workflows/reference.md
HIGH — when it fires on hostile content the impact is full system-prompt override.
Why it matters

The text {match} is the classic direct prompt-injection phrasing. Placed in a skill body that the agent reads as trusted instructions, it tries to make the agent abandon its prior rules and follow whatever comes next — a full system-prompt override.

How to fix
Remove the override phrase, or rephrase the passage so it does not instruct the agent to discard its rules.
  1. Delete the ignore/disregard/forget … previous instructions sentence.
  2. If this is jailbreak-research or tutorial content, move the example into a clearly fenced, non-instruction block and label it as a quoted sample.
