The Science Of Storytelling

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This appears to be a prompt-only storytelling and writing framework skill with overbroad activation wording but no evidence of unsafe code, data access, persistence, or hidden behavior.

Safe to install if you want a storytelling/writing prompt framework, but expect it may activate too often for generic writing, business, psychology, or influence requests; disable or narrow it if it becomes intrusive.

Vague Triggers

High
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The trigger list is excessively broad and includes generic terms such as storytelling, writing, business, psychology, and influence, which can cause the skill to activate for many unrelated conversations. Overbroad activation can hijack user interactions, override more appropriate skills, and inject unsolicited instructions or formatting into normal assistant responses.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The condition that the skill should trigger when the user 'just installed this skill' or 'doesn't know how to start' is ambiguous and not semantically tied to storytelling content. This can cause unsolicited activation in onboarding or help-seeking contexts, increasing the chance of the skill taking over interactions outside its intended domain.
