Summary
Consumer Berd can expose the Skill Discovery / Discover surface, which invokes sq agents skills list-remote --include-team --json. That command targets Block's internal BuilderBot/KGoose marketplace and redirects unauthenticated consumer users to Block Cloudflare Zero Trust / Okta auth.
For consumer users without Block credentials, this looks like Berd is asking them to sign in to an internal Block website.
Observed behavior
- The Skills Discover UI initially showed:
Skill discovery needs the sq-agents CLI.
- After installing a compatible
sq CLI shim, Berd ran sq agents skills list-remote --include-team --json.
- The command failed with:
`sq agents skills list-remote --include-team --json` failed: {"error":{"code":"cli_error","exit_code":1,"message":"deserialize GET /v1/marketplace/skills?limit=5000 response: expected value at line 1 column 1"}}
- Running the CLI auth flow opened:
https://kgoose.sqprod.co/cash-app/goose/v1/auth/login?type=cli&returnTo=http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback
- The browser displayed Block Cloudflare Zero Trust / Okta FastPass login.
Local investigation
- Installed app: Berd
0.6.2, consumer install.
/Applications/Berd.app/Contents/Resources/runtime-config.json has empty featureToggles: {}.
- Local WebKit localStorage contained
goose:experimental-features with:
{"version":2,"experiments":{"skill-discovery":{"enabled":true},"avatar-collection-page":{"enabled":true}}}
- Manually setting
skill-discovery.enabled to false hides the problematic surface after restart.
Expected behavior
Consumer builds should not surface Block-internal marketplace discovery or route users to Block Zero Trust auth. If the feature remains in consumer builds, it should be gated behind a distribution/runtime flag that defaults off and cannot be enabled accidentally through stale/local experimental preferences.
Notes
The source definition already documents skill-discovery as opt-in because it requires the optional sq-agents CLI and remote catalog requests. The issue appears to be that a consumer user can still have this experiment enabled locally, resulting in an internal-auth dead end.
