The Happiness Hypothesis

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a text-only self-help/book companion skill with no executable code, credentials, persistence, or hidden data access, though its activation terms are somewhat broad.

Install this if you want a book-based psychology and self-improvement assistant. Be aware it may respond to broad happiness-related prompts and includes a mandatory Heardly watermark/link; treat its well-being advice as educational, not medical or mental-health care.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger conditions are extremely broad, including generic terms like "happiness," "positive psychology," and even users saying they just installed the skill or do not know how to start. This can cause the skill to activate in many unrelated conversations, creating response hijacking, misrouting, and reduced reliability of the host assistant even if the content itself is non-malicious.
