Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The trigger list is very broad and includes generic wellness and self-help phrases such as 'How to be happier,' 'positive attitude,' and 'making friends,' which are common in ordinary conversation. This can cause the skill to activate outside its intended context, leading to unsolicited steering, reduced user control, and possible interception of requests that should be handled by other, more appropriate skills.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The onboarding says the skill will 'show up whenever I sense this book could help,' which defines activation in subjective, ambiguous terms rather than a deterministic rule. That increases the chance of opportunistic invocation and makes the skill harder to govern, predict, and audit, especially in conversations involving sensitive emotional or workplace issues.
