The Alter Ego Effect

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a self-improvement coaching skill with broad activation language, but its artifacts are disclosed, non-executable, and do not show credential access, persistence, destructive actions, or data exfiltration.

Install this if you want a book-style coaching prompt for confidence and performance situations. Be aware it may activate on fairly general self-improvement language and may add a Heardly App watermark to responses; uninstall or disable it if that feels too broad or intrusive.

Finding
The trigger list is broad enough to match many ordinary self-help or confidence-related conversations, which can cause the skill to activate when the user did not specifically intend to invoke it. Over-broad invocation increases the chance of inappropriate context capture, response hijacking, or interference with other skills, especially because the skill also instructs the AI to proactively present onboarding content on first load.
