Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill defines activation on broad, generic finance terms such as "spoofing," "market manipulation," "day trader," and "high-frequency trading," which are likely to appear in many unrelated finance conversations. This can cause the skill to hijack context unexpectedly, leading to irrelevant or intrusive behavior and increasing the chance that users receive this skill's framing when they did not explicitly request it.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The instruction to trigger when a user says they "just installed this skill" or "don't know how to start" has no clear boundary tying activation to this specific skill's topic. Because those phrases are common onboarding language across many contexts, the skill could activate spuriously and force proactive content into unrelated sessions, creating context confusion and poor user control.
