+title: "Skill Data Exfiltration via Compound Patterns"
+id: ATR-2026-00149
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects compound exfiltration patterns in SKILL.md files where sensitive data
+  (credentials, SSH keys, wallet files, browser data, environment variables) is
+  read AND transmitted to an external endpoint. Single-action patterns (just reading
+  env vars or just mentioning curl) are intentionally excluded to avoid false positives
+  on legitimate security and DevOps skills.
