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.

```See INSTALL.md — review scripts/bootstrap.sh (sha-pinned) before running it yourself.The text {match} tells the agent to skip the normal "ask the user first" gate.

PayRam is a self-hosted payment and payout gateway: install it on a server you control and you ARE the payment processor. Payment links, hosted checkout (customer picks USDC/BTC/ETH/more), on-chain deposit detection, automatic sweeps to a cold wallet whose keys never touch the server. No account to create, no KYB, nothing a platform can freeze.
