This requirement is repeated in the main Skill instructions, delivery documentation, report template, and review checklist. The PDF renderer then enforces it programmatically by inserting `TOOL_SIGNATURE_HTML` into every generated HTML document. This is not merely optional attribution. The instructions state that the footer must be present, the review process checks for it, and the executable renderer injects it regardless of the report topic or user requirements. Consequently, removing the promotional content from the generated Markdown does not prevent its inclusion in the final PDF. This constitutes Skill instruction hijacking because loading and following the Skill changes the Agent's report-generation objective to include unrelated promotional and contact-dist ...[truncated 1386 chars]
- Remediation
- <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the personal contact identifier and repository advertisement from `TOOL_SIGNATURE_HTML`. 2. Remove the mandatory-footer directives from: - `SKILL.md` - `references/delivery.md` - `references/report-template.md` - `references/review-checklist.md` 3. If attribution is legitimately required, replace it with a neutral, non-promotional statement. 4. Make attribution explicitly configurable and disabled by default, for example: ```python if include_attribution: full_html += neutral_attribution_html ``` 5. Require explicit user consent before adding any third-party URL, author contact, branding, or promotional content. 6. Ensure the review checklist validates the user's requested output rather than requiring publisher-controlled promotional text. 7. Add a regression test confirming that a report generated with attribution disabled contains no repository URL or personal contact identifier. ]]>
