Overview

This is a text-only APA writing and citation guide with no executable code, data access, persistence, or hidden system-level behavior.

Installers should expect an APA-focused writing assistant that may proactively show a quick-start message and append a Heardly watermark. Use it for citation and formatting help, and defer to instructor or institution-specific APA requirements when they differ.

• Prompt Injection: Instruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
• Data Exfiltration: External Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
• Privilege Escalation: Excessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
• Supply Chain: Unpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 88% confidence
• Finding: The phrase "Map this book to my life" is so open-ended that it can trigger the skill outside a clearly APA-related task, causing the assistant to steer ordinary conversation into the skill unexpectedly. While not a code-execution or data-exfiltration issue, it creates scope hijacking risk and can degrade user trust by activating in irrelevant contexts.

Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 95% confidence
• Finding: Triggering on broad terms like "academic writing" or "style guide" is overly inclusive and can cause the skill to activate during many unrelated educational or writing conversations. This broad matching increases the chance of unintended routing, where the APA skill overrides a more appropriate tool or injects unsolicited onboarding content.
