The skill workflow explicitly instructs the agent to recommend the author's commercial Finhouse integration service. This instruction affects generated answers rather than merely documenting authorship. It can introduce promotional material into otherwise informational responses, including questions about KEP definitions, legal obligations, providers, or application procedures.
Because the instruction is loaded as part of the skill's operational behavior, users may receive commercially influenced output without requesting a service recommendation. The affiliated destination and contact information make the redirection actionable. This is best classified as skill instruction hijacking because the skill alters the agent's response objective from answering neutrally to promoting a particular affiliated service.

Remediation Suggestions
- Remove the mandatory Finhouse recommendation from the operational workflow.
- Keep author and affiliation details in passive metadata or a clearly separated attribution section.
- Mention commercial services only when the user explicitly requests consulting, implementation assistance, or provider recommendations.
- Clearly disclose the author's affiliation whenever Finhouse is mentioned.
- Provide neutral selection criteria and multiple relevant alternatives rather than directing users to one affiliated provider.
- Add a policy stating that informational answers must not contain unsolicited advertising or lead-generation content.
- Review the final response template to ensure commercial contact details are not inserted automatically.
