Six Thinking Hats Edward De Bono

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The available evidence shows a low-impact thinking-framework skill with broad activation wording but no concrete harmful behavior.

This appears safe to install based on the available evidence. Expect it to influence brainstorming or reasoning conversations, and consider narrowing its triggers if you only want it used when you explicitly ask for the Six Thinking Hats framework.

Finding
The manifest lists broad everyday phrases such as "Brainstorming," "How to think," "Critical thinking," and also says the skill triggers when it "sense[s] this book could help." These conditions are not narrowly scoped and could overlap with many ordinary conversations, making activation boundaries unclear.
