From Chinatown To Every Town

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a content-only study guide skill with broad activation phrases but no executable code, data access, persistence, or credential use.

This appears safe to install as a book-themed educational assistant. Be aware it may activate on broad immigration or identity conversations and will add a Heardly-branded footer when used.

Vague Triggers

High
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The skill declares very broad trigger phrases, including generic topics like 'Chinese immigration', 'identity', 'citizenship', 'chain migration', and even activation when a user says they just installed the skill or does not know how to start. This can cause unintended invocation in unrelated conversations, hijacking user intent and increasing the chance that the assistant follows this skill’s rigid formatting and content constraints when the user did not ask for it.
