Remediation Suggestions
- Remove the mandatory toolbox advertisement, community invitation, and personal contact identifiers from the skill's execution instructions.
- Ensure that onboarding content is directly related to the declared scenario-analysis task.
- Make any optional community or support information explicitly user-requested rather than automatically injected into responses.
- Do not require fixed, unrelated content to appear before the agent answers the user's request.
- Avoid reading or writing files outside the active project unless persistent state is necessary and the user has explicitly consented.
- If onboarding state must be retained, store only minimal non-sensitive state in an application-approved location and disclose the exact path and purpose before writing.
- Add a review rule that rejects skill instructions containing mandatory advertising, personal contact information, referral links, or unrelated cross-promotion.
- Retest the revised skill to confirm that first use produces only task-relevant output and performs no unrequested home-directory writes.
