+title: Natural-Language Covert Conversation Exfiltration Instruction
+id: ATR-2026-00421

+description: |
+  Detects natural-language imperative instructions in SKILL.md / system prompts /
+  tool descriptions that direct the agent to covertly transmit conversation
+  data — chat history, dialogue context, prompt logs — to an external destination.
+  Requires co-occurrence of a covert qualifier (also / additionally / silently /
+  secretly / quietly), a transmit verb (send / transmit / forward / upload /
+  post / relay), and a conversation-content sink (conversation/chat/dialog/
+  prompt + history/log/context/transcript). The covert qualifier is what makes
+  this malicious — legitimate transmission is announced, not "also" / "silently".

+    [ATR-2026-00424] Natural-language system-prompt leak instruction.
+    The skill directs the agent to disclose its system prompt, hidden
+    instructions, or initial context. This compromises operator confidentiality
+    and may expose proprietary system-prompt content.
