Remove directives that force the agent to call specific tools or APIs not required for the skill's stated functionality. Tool calls should be determined by user intent, not embedded directives.

Likely FP if the skill legitimately needs to call other tools as part of its workflow (e.g., a deployment skill that calls git and cloud CLI tools).

Download the script first, inspect it, verify its checksum, then run it. Do not pipe curl/wget output directly to sh/bash. Prefer package manager installs.

Likely FP if the download is from a well-known installer domain (e.g., brew.sh, rustup.rs), though this pattern is inherently risky even with trusted sources.

Download the file first, verify its integrity (checksum, signature), inspect it, then run it. Prefer package managers over raw downloads. Never fetch-and-run in one step.

Likely FP if the target is a well-known installer (e.g., rustup, Homebrew) from its canonical HTTPS domain, though the pattern is inherently risky.

Pin the downloaded resource to a specific version or commit hash, and verify its integrity with a checksum (SHA-256). Avoid fetching scripts or binaries from arbitrary URLs at runtime.

Likely FP if the download URL points to a well-known CDN or package registry (e.g., npmjs.com, pypi.org) and is pinned to a specific version.

Scope the Bash tool to specific commands using allowedTools patterns (e.g., Bash(git *) instead of bare Bash). Remove blanket Bash access from allowed_tools lists.

Likely FP if the Bash entry in allowed_tools is part of a constrained configuration that limits commands elsewhere (e.g., via system prompt restrictions).

Break chained commands into discrete, individually validated steps. Avoid piping untrusted output directly into a shell interpreter.

Likely FP if the matched text is a documentation example showing a common installer one-liner for a well-known tool with a canonical URL.

Replace GitHub raw.githubusercontent.com references with pinned commit SHAs instead of branch names (e.g., /commit-sha/file instead of /main/file). Branch references are mutable.

Likely FP if the raw GitHub URL points to a versioned release tag in a well-known repository, though even tags are technically mutable.

Pin system packages to specific versions where the package manager supports it. Document the exact packages required and prefer containerized environments to avoid system-wide changes.

Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.

Pin system packages to specific versions where the package manager supports it. Document the exact packages required and prefer containerized environments to avoid system-wide changes.

Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.

Avoid loading configuration or behavior-controlling content from runtime URLs. Bundle required configurations locally or pin remote config to versioned, integrity-verified endpoints.

Likely FP if the URL in the match is a documentation link or example URL (e.g., example.com) rather than an actual runtime-fetched configuration endpoint.

Pin system packages to specific versions where the package manager supports it. Document the exact packages required and prefer containerized environments to avoid system-wide changes.

Likely FP if the match is standard setup documentation listing well-known system packages (e.g., apt install git curl) that are prerequisites.
