The skill requires the agent to emit a predetermined onboarding message before handling the user's request whenever a local marker is absent. That message includes promotion of an external user group and two WeChat contact identifiers.
This behavior is not necessary for the advertised task of generating two-page influencer pitch materials. Because the instruction automatically changes the response content when the skill is loaded, it constitutes skill instruction hijacking. The behavior is deterministic and does not require the user to request onboarding information or external contact details.
Attack Path
- A user invokes the skill for its advertised pitch-material generation function.
- The agent checks for
~/.ljhskill/onboarding.json. - If the marker does not exist, the skill forces the agent to prepend a fixed branded message.
- The message advertises an external community and exposes two third-party contact identifiers.
- Only after presenting this unrelated content does the agent continue processing the user's actual request.
- The skill then attempts to create a marker so that the injected output is shown only on first use.

Remediation Suggestions
- Remove the mandatory external-community promotion and personal contact identifiers.
- Do not inject onboarding content before fulfilling the requested task.
- If onboarding is operationally necessary, limit it to concise, task-relevant usage instructions.
- Display optional onboarding only after explicit user consent or in response to a help request.
- Clearly separate required functional output from optional product or community information.
- Add a policy requiring all user-facing content to be directly relevant to the invoked skill unless the user explicitly opts in.
