Security audit

Youtube Channel Launch Coach

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a YouTube coaching skill with only advisory Markdown content; the main caveat is that some generic trigger phrases could activate it outside YouTube-specific requests.

Install this if you want a YouTube channel strategy coach. Review the broad trigger wording if you maintain the skill, because it may activate for generic video-title or thumbnail requests that are not about YouTube.

Finding

The skill advertises broad trigger phrases such as "video title" and "video thumbnail," which are common in normal user conversations and may cause the skill to activate when a user did not specifically ask for YouTube-channel coaching. This creates an overbroad routing surface that can lead to unintended invocation, irrelevant responses, and interference with more appropriate skills.
