Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The trigger list is extremely broad and includes many common names, topics, and cultural references that may appear in unrelated conversations, causing the skill to activate outside user intent. Unintended activation can override normal assistant behavior, inject unrelated guidance, and degrade trust by steering conversations toward this skill without a clear request.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The instruction to trigger when a user says they just installed the skill or do not know how to start is underspecified and not limited to contexts where this specific skill is relevant. This can cause unsolicited activation in generic onboarding conversations, allowing the skill to preempt other tools or system behaviors and introduce content unrelated to the user's actual task.
