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.

Env mapping uses CORTEX_ prefix in compose (e.g. CORTEX_TEAMS_WEBHOOK_URL, CORTEX_API_KEY).
Settings accept either:
VAULT_PATH or CORTEX_VAULT_PATHAPI_KEY or CORTEX_API_KEYTEAMS_WEBHOOK_URL or CORTEX_TEAMS_WEBHOOK_URLscripts/env_check.sh writes unprefixed names; compose often maps to CORTEX_*.
