+  Detects SKILL.md files containing hidden instructions that attempt to override
+  agent behavior, suppress user notification, or bypass safety controls. Targets
+  the gap between ATR-00120 (prompt injection) and ATR-00105 (silent action) by
+  catching natural-language override patterns specific to skill documents.
