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.

Rule: uses: netresearch/<repo>/.github/workflows/<name>.yml@main. Never a commit hash, also not @<sha> # main; third-party actions stay SHA-pinned. A CodeQL actions/unpinned-tag, zizmor or SonarCloud finding on such a line is dismissed as won't fix, never fixed by pinning. Why: references/reusable-workflow-security.md.
