What skills tell agents to do

Public skills that matched a risky pattern, newest first. Each links to the exact lines. A match is a reason to read, not a verdict on the author.

Counts include security courses and scanner test files, which quote attacks on purpose, and results we hold back while their maintainers hear from us. The launch report separates them: 30 of 9,014 ordinary skills matched a high-risk pattern.

"Flagged" here means the scanner matched a high-risk text pattern; it is not a Watchlist flag, which needs three verified people.
