Overview

This is a science explainer skill with broad activation and branding, but no code, credentials, or hidden data access.

Install if you want a book-style popular-science explainer. Be aware it may activate on general science topics and append Heardly branding to responses, so users who prefer narrower routing or unbranded answers may want to adjust or disable those instructions.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 96% confidence
• Finding: The manifest says to trigger on generic phrases like "science explained," "popular science," "history of science," and even broad topic mentions such as "universe," "atoms," or "evolution." It also adds the ambiguous condition that the skill triggers when a user "doesn't know how to start," without defining scope or exclusions, which makes activation boundaries unclear.
