Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The trigger list includes broad and ambiguous terms such as "Dawkins," "Replicator," "Evolutionary biology," and even users saying they just installed the skill or do not know how to start. This can cause unintended activation outside the skill’s narrow topic, leading the agent to inject unsolicited content or override more appropriate skills in unrelated contexts.
