Calling Bullshit The Art Of Skepticism In A Data Driven World

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a text-only critical-thinking skill with some overbroad activation and promotional formatting, but no evidence of harmful code, data access, or hidden behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable with a book-style assistant that may activate on broad misinformation, statistics, and critical-thinking topics and append a Heardly-branded watermark to its responses. There is no artifact evidence of code execution or sensitive data access.

Vague Triggers

High
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The trigger list includes very broad terms like 'bullshit', 'statistics', 'critical thinking', and 'fake news', which are common in ordinary conversation and can cause the skill to activate outside the user’s intent. This creates prompt-scope hijacking risk: the assistant may inject this skill’s instructions, onboarding, and formatting into unrelated conversations, degrading reliability and potentially overriding more appropriate system behavior.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The condition 'when the user says they just installed this skill or doesn't know how to start' is ambiguous and instructs the AI to proactively present the full Quick Start without a clear, skill-scoped confirmation. In systems with imperfect routing, this can cause unsolicited behavior in unrelated contexts, increasing prompt injection surface and user confusion.
