Vulnerability Details
File Location:
SKILL.md, lines 68–73
Vulnerability Type: Mandatory instruction hijacking for promotional engagement
Risk Level: MediumVulnerable Code Snippet
Early benefit hook: If the article contains prompts, wallpapers, materials, or similar benefits, an Easter-egg preview must be placed at the beginning or near the beginning, directing the user to act immediately, such as collecting a wallpaper at the end. A postscript must also preview additional practical content to improve completion rates.
Mandatory closing hook: The end of the article must contain a specific hook involving materials, tools, an SOP file, or a code repository, directing the user to follow the public account and reply with a keyword to receive it. Traffic must not be wasted.
The snippet above is an English rendering of the instructions at the specified location.
Technical Analysis
These instructions impose stable lead-generation behavior on generated content. Rather than limiting output to the user's requested article outline, the skill requires an early engagement teaser and a closing call to follow an account and submit a keyword.
The behavior is mandatory and is not conditioned on the user explicitly requesting marketing or audience-conversion material. Loading and following the skill can therefore alter the agent's immediate output objective from producing a useful article outline to also promoting account engagement.
No executable code or system-level compromise is involved. The issue is confined to manipulation of generated content and the goals of the current agent session.

Remediation Suggestions
- Remove the unconditional requirement to insert a closing promotional hook.
- Add engagement prompts only when the user explicitly asks for marketing or conversion-oriented copy.
- Require confirmation before directing readers to follow an account or reply with a keyword.
- Verify that every advertised resource actually exists and is available through the stated mechanism.
- Clearly label optional marketing sections in the generated outline.
- Make neutral, task-focused output the default behavior.
