The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This appears to be a low-risk self-improvement coaching skill with somewhat broad activation language but no evidence of hidden access, persistence, credential use, or destructive behavior.

Install only if you want the assistant to proactively offer 7 Habits-style productivity advice. Expect occasional irrelevant activation on general self-improvement or time-management questions; no security-sensitive behavior was evidenced.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrases include very broad terms like effectiveness, habits, time management, and productivity-adjacent language that can match many unrelated user requests. This can cause unintended activation, leading the skill to intrude on conversations, override better-matched skills, or steer users into irrelevant advice without explicit intent.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The instruction to appear whenever the AI 'senses this book could help' creates an ambiguous, subjective activation rule that encourages proactive invocation without clear user consent. In a multi-skill environment, this increases the chance of unsolicited responses, context hijacking, and misrouting of ordinary self-improvement queries.
