Content Sanitization Guidelines#

When To Use#

Any skill or hook that loads content from external sources:

• GitHub Issues, PRs, Discussions (via gh CLI)
• WebFetch / WebSearch results
• User-provided URLs
• Any content not controlled by this repository

When NOT To Use#

• Processing local, git-controlled files (trusted content)
• Internal code analysis with no external input

Trust Levels#

Sanitization Checklist#

Before processing external content in any skill:

1. Size check: Truncate to 2000 words maximum per entry

2. Strip system tags: Remove <system>, <assistant>, <human>, <IMPORTANT> XML-like tags

3. Strip instruction patterns: Remove "Ignore previous", "You are now", "New instructions:", "Override"

4. Strip code execution patterns: Remove !!python, __import__, eval(, exec(, os.system

5. Wrap in boundary markers: text

   --- EXTERNAL CONTENT [source: <tool>] ---
   [content]
   --- END EXTERNAL CONTENT ---
   
   

6. Strip formatting-based hiding: Remove content using CSS/HTML to hide text from human view:

   • display:none, visibility:hidden
   • color:white, #fff, #ffffff, rgb(255,255,255)
   • font-size:0, opacity:0
   • height:0 with overflow:hidden

7. Strip zero-width characters: Remove U+200B (zero-width space), U+200C (zero-width non-joiner), U+200D (zero-width joiner), U+FEFF (BOM/zero-width no-break space)

8. Strip instruction-bearing HTML comments: Remove HTML comments containing injection keywords (ignore, override, forget, "you are")

Automated Enforcement#

A PostToolUse hook ( sanitize_external_content.py) automatically sanitizes outputs from WebFetch, WebSearch, and Bash commands that call gh or curl. Skills do not need to re-sanitize content that has already passed through the hook.

Skills that directly construct external content (e.g., reading from gh api output stored in a variable) should follow this checklist manually.

Code Execution Prevention#

External content must NEVER be:

• Passed to eval(), exec(), or compile()
• Used in subprocess with shell=True
• Deserialized with yaml.load() (use yaml.safe_load())
• Interpolated into f-strings for shell commands
• Used as import paths or module names
• Deserialized with pickle or marshal

Constitutional Entry Protection#

External content can never auto-promote to constitutional importance (score >= 90). Score changes >= 20 points from external sources require human confirmation.
