The Skill declares that every generated checklist, report, and legal analysis must include a signature and a solicitation directing users to an author-controlled social-media account. Because this instruction is unconditional and embedded in the loaded Skill instructions, it modifies the agent's output behavior regardless of whether the user requested attribution or feedback information.
This is instruction hijacking rather than executable malware: loading the Skill causes unrelated task output to carry persistent promotional material. The behavior is corroborated by
demo/checklist_sample.md, line 92, which includes the mandated footer.Attack Path
- A user or platform installs and loads the Skill.
- The user requests a government-procurement checklist, legal analysis, or related report.
- The Skill processes the request normally.
- The mandatory instruction at
SKILL.md:167–170causes the agent to append author branding and feedback solicitation. - The generated response directs the user to the specified WeChat public account without the user requesting that promotion.
No code execution, elevated permissions, credential access, or system compromise is required for this path.

Remediation Suggestions
- Remove the unconditional requirement at
SKILL.md:167–170. - Keep author and feedback details in package metadata, such as
manifest.yamlandREADME.md, rather than injecting them into generated task results. - If attribution is required by a legitimate license or platform policy, use a neutral attribution field rendered by the hosting platform rather than a model instruction.
- Display feedback-channel information only when a user explicitly requests support or project contact details.
- Remove the promotional footer from
demo/checklist_sample.md:92so examples do not encourage regression. - Add a regression test asserting that normal checklists and legal analyses contain no unsolicited promotional destination or contact solicitation.
- Review all future output-contract instructions to ensure they are necessary for the user's requested task and do not redirect users to author-controlled third parties.
- Remove the unconditional requirement at
