It requires the agent to assume the creator's assistant persona, mention the creator account, and regenerate otherwise valid content if those promotional elements are absent. These directives are not presented as optional templates requiring confirmation at publication time. They become mandatory session instructions whenever the skill is loaded and directly alter the agent's content-generation objective.

- Remediation
- ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove unconditional requirements to use a fixed creator identity or mention a specific account in every post. 2. Make creator attribution, account mentions, and product promotion explicit opt-in settings for each publication request. 3. Require a human confirmation step before publishing content containing promotional language, account mentions, prices, or product references. 4. Replace the regeneration rule with validation that reports branding conflicts to the user rather than silently forcing promotional content. 5. Separate neutral content generation from marketing functionality. Marketing behavior should only activate when the user expressly requests a promotional post. 6. Clearly label sponsored or promotional content and enforce applicable platform disclosure requirements. 7. Allow users to override the persona and remove branding without disabling unrelated content-generation features. 8. Add a publication preview showing the exact final text, included mentions, promotional level, and target account before submission. 9. Record user authorization for each promotional campaign and reject automated publication when authorization is absent or expired.
