[Bug][aup] Loading a coding-assistant skill file that adjusts response tone for security work wrongly blocked (req_011CbwtPmZdwPz7KU4VD8Z2j)

Type: AUP / Usage-Policy block (false positive) · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

This safety classifier flagged a request as "violative cyber content," but the trigger was the routine loading of a local skill/configuration file whose text was being read into context — not any request to produce attack tooling or cause harm. The work in progress is ordinary, in-scope software and security engineering performed by an authorized user on their own systems, with no element of unauthorized access, malware, or other policy-violating activity. The block appears to be a content-pattern match on benign reference material rather than a response to a genuinely harmful instruction, making it a false positive that interrupts legitimate work.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code.
