Findings (2)

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 93% confidence
Finding: The trigger list includes extremely common terms like "Strategy," "Strategic planning," and "Competitive strategy," which can cause the skill to activate in many ordinary business conversations unrelated to this book or framework. Over-broad activation increases the chance of unwanted routing, instruction injection surface, and user confusion because the assistant may enter this skill when a more appropriate response or skill should be used.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 89% confidence
Finding: The condition to trigger onboarding when a user says they "just installed this skill" or "doesn't know how to start" is ambiguous and not tightly scoped to explicit invocation of this skill. That can cause unsolicited activation in unrelated conversations, making the assistant unexpectedly shift behavior and increasing the risk of confusing or manipulative responses.
