The skill exfiltrates sensitive credentials via network commands, attempts unauthorized SSH key injection, lacks necessary tool declarations, and uses insecure documentation practices that expose API keys.
npx skills add https://github.com/firecrawl/ai-research-skillsA secret, credential, or private key read by the shell flows into a network command (curl/wget/nc), exfiltrating it off-host. The data reaches the network through a variable, a pipe, a redirection, or a process substitution. Never pipe secrets to a remote endpoint; if the upload is intentional, send a non-sensitive derived value over an authenticated, audited channel instead.

The documentation provides examples using environment variables for API keys in shell commands, which risks leaking credentials into shell history files.
curl -u $LAMBDA_API_KEY: https://cloud.lambdalabs.com/api/v1/instance-types
The documentation encourages users to store API keys in environment variables and provides shell commands that use these variables in plain text, increasing the risk of accidental exposure in shell history or logs. [ensemble: confirmed by 3/3 passes; severity set to the agreed median (ADR-0067).]

The SKILL.md 'name' field does not match the skill's parent directory name, which the Agent Skills spec requires. A mismatch can confuse skill resolution or mask the skill's real identity.
