Vague Triggers

Medium

91% confidence
Finding
The trigger list is broad enough to activate on common, non-skill-specific terms like 'uncertainty,' 'probability,' 'randomness,' and 'rare events,' which can cause unintended invocation during ordinary conversation. This can hijack routing, produce irrelevant responses, and increase the chance that the skill overrides more appropriate skills or baseline behavior, especially because the skill also instructs proactive onboarding on first load.
