A skill is just a program for an LLM agent. This just seems like works-as-expected. Are the five lines in the skill notably innocuous or something? I don't mean to dismiss it out of hand but I don't understand what happened here because it seems to read "`curl $url | bash` can exfiltrate data" which seems pretty straightforward that it can.

A skill is just instructions that the agent can autonomously copy into context. There’s no trust boundary between trusted and untrusted context.

Right, people haven’t internalized that these are really just scripts in natural language.
