Detects downloading scripts piped directly to a shell interpreter
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | shDownload 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.
Detects patterns of downloading and piping to shell execution
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | shDownload 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.
Detects chained commands using shell operators with dangerous operations
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | shBreak 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.
Detects pip install of arbitrary packages that modify the host environment
pip install uvPin all pip packages to exact versions (e.g., pip install package==1.2.3). Use a requirements.txt or pyproject.toml with pinned versions and hash verification.
Likely FP if the match is in documentation showing how to install the skill's own PyPI package.
Detects system-level package installation via brew, apt, yum, or dnf
brew install uPin 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.
Detects pip install of arbitrary packages that modify the host environment
pip install rePin all pip packages to exact versions (e.g., pip install package==1.2.3). Use a requirements.txt or pyproject.toml with pinned versions and hash verification.
Likely FP if the match is in documentation showing how to install the skill's own PyPI package.
Detects instructions to modify shell config files for environment persistence
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrcAvoid modifying shell profiles (.bashrc, .zshrc, .profile) programmatically. Instruct users to add PATH entries manually, or use a version manager (nvm, pyenv) instead.
Likely FP if the match is documentation showing how to add a tool to PATH manually, especially if it only appends to PATH without modifying other settings.
Detects pip install of arbitrary packages that modify the host environment
pip install PAPin all pip packages to exact versions (e.g., pip install package==1.2.3). Use a requirements.txt or pyproject.toml with pinned versions and hash verification.
Likely FP if the match is in documentation showing how to install the skill's own PyPI package.
