Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The trigger list is very broad and includes common terms like 'passion', 'purpose', 'hard work', 'resilience', and even cases where the user merely says they just installed the skill or does not know how to start. This can cause the skill to activate in unrelated conversations, leading to instruction hijacking of the assistant's response format and reduced user control over which skill is invoked.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger list is extremely broad and includes common motivational phrases such as 'How to stay motivated', 'Resilience', 'Never give up', and even cases where a user simply says they just installed the skill or does not know how to start. This can cause unintended invocation in many ordinary conversations, leading the skill to activate outside user intent and potentially override more relevant responses or inject unsolicited guidance.
