The seven-category signal lists in agents/skill-scanner-agent.md move to
knowledge/skill-threat-patterns.md § Detection Rules. The agent keeps its
procedure, severity table, verdict logic and output format, plus a pointer,
and now says to report an unreadable knowledge file instead of scanning from
memory (a remembered subset reports clean for rules it never applied).
Chose the existing file over a new one because every command that invokes
the agent (scan, audit, clean, plugin-audit) already passes
<plugin-root>/knowledge/skill-threat-patterns.md explicitly; a new file would
have needed four command edits to reach the agent at all.
Why (v8.1.0 AV surface): a clean SKILL.md was quarantined as
Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml; a quarantine on agents/*.md breaks the installed
plugin, not just a clone. Move measured lossless: the only line-level
differences are the two intended rewrites and headings.
Also in this commit, rewritten as descriptions or with a <shell>
placeholder for the interpreter (no technique removed):
- posture-assessor-agent: hook-coverage item and override phrases
- deep-scan-synthesizer-agent: example decoded message
- commands/red-team.md: scenario table cell
- knowledge/*.md: 15 runnable download-into-shell one-liners, the
"Decodes to" line first; fenced examples keep their exact shape with
<shell>, prose and tables become sentences.
Probe (e): 8 -> 3 (the three left are hook-script lines behind the
path guard). knowledge: 17 -> 2 (attack-scenarios.json, the red-team
simulator's input; left on purpose). claude plugin validate . passes;
agent frontmatter untouched, all six agents parse.

#9 pathguard registered matcher Write only, so an Edit/MultiEdit to an existing protected file (settings.json, .env, .ssh, the hooks themselves) bypassed it entirely; matcher now Edit|Write (the script already reads only tool_input.file_path). #10 the primary trifecta detector's 20-entry window counted marker lines, so accumulated markers scrolled a real leg out (false negative); the window now counts tool-call entries. #13 pre-edit-secrets caught bare provider keys only inside a quoted label assignment; added anchored patterns for Anthropic sk-ant, OpenAI sk-proj, fine-grained github_pat_, Google AIza, and JWT eyJ (minimum-length guarded against prose false positives).
#12 the remote-pipe-to-shell block required a shell immediately after the first pipe, so xargs/sudo/tee/env interposition evaded it and the comment falsely claimed xargs was caught; broadened to reach a shell through intermediate segments while leaving shell-OR fallbacks unblocked. #11 (doc only): knowledge/owasp-skills-top10.md claimed pre-bash-destructive blocks persistence commands — it does not; corrected to mark persistence detection as unimplemented/future (the detector itself is deferred to v8). Suite 2004/0.

Add /ultraresearch-local for structured research combining local codebase
analysis with external knowledge via parallel agent swarms. Produces research
briefs with triangulation, confidence ratings, and source quality assessment.
New command: /ultraresearch-local with modes --quick, --local, --external, --fg.
New agents: research-orchestrator (opus), docs-researcher, community-researcher,
security-researcher, contrarian-researcher, gemini-bridge (all sonnet).
New template: research-brief-template.md.
Integration: --research flag in /ultraplan-local accepts pre-built research
briefs (up to 3), enriches the interview and exploration phases. Planning
orchestrator cross-references brief findings during synthesis.
Design principle: Context Engineering — right information to right agent at
right time. Research briefs are structured artifacts in the pipeline:
ultraresearch → brief → ultraplan --research → plan → ultraexecute.
