Product Validation Planner

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only product validation planning skill with broad activation wording but no malicious behavior or sensitive authority.

Installers should expect a lightweight planning skill for product idea validation. Consider tightening the trigger wording if you want fewer accidental activations in general business, startup, SaaS, or prototype conversations.

Findings (10)

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 86% confidence
Finding: The trigger sentence is broad enough to match ordinary user requests for help, which can cause the skill to activate outside its intended scope. Over-broad activation increases the chance of unintended instruction injection into unrelated conversations and can steer the agent toward this skill when a more appropriate or safer capability should handle the request.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 91% confidence
Finding: The invocation guidance lacks precise trigger boundaries, so the orchestration layer may route common business or workflow questions into this skill even when the user did not ask for product validation. In a skill-based agent system, ambiguous routing is a security and safety concern because it widens the attack surface for prompt hijacking, unintended data handling, and policy bypass through misapplied specialized instructions.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 90% confidence
Finding: The trigger phrases are very broad, such as generic requests for help or practical workflows, and can overlap with ordinary user intent outside this skill’s narrow purpose. That can cause the skill to activate unexpectedly, steering unrelated conversations into this workflow and increasing the chance of misrouting or inappropriate tool behavior.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 91% confidence
Finding: The skill description and activation guidance are broad enough to match many ordinary business, product, and operations requests, which can cause the agent to invoke this skill outside its intended niche. Over-broad routing can override more appropriate skills or system behavior, leading to incorrect handling of user requests and increasing the attack surface for prompt-routing abuse.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The keyword triggers are ambiguous and include generic terms like 'validation', 'prototype', 'saas', and 'startup', which are common across many unrelated requests. This can cause accidental or attacker-induced skill activation, making routing less trustworthy and potentially steering conversations into irrelevant or lower-safety workflows.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 92% confidence
Finding: The trigger keywords are broad, generic business terms such as 'validation', 'prototype', 'saas', and 'startup', which are likely to appear in ordinary user conversations. This can cause unintended invocation of the skill, routing users into this workflow when they did not explicitly request it, increasing the chance of inappropriate context capture or misleading task execution.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 89% confidence
Finding: The invocation description states the skill should be used for a wide range of topics including business operations, product ideas, validation, prototypes, and SaaS support, making the activation boundary unclear. Ambiguous routing criteria can cause the agent to select this skill in unrelated scenarios, leading to overreach, incorrect assistance, or interference with more appropriate skills.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 86% confidence
Finding: The default prompt is extremely broad and paired with implicit invocation, which can cause the skill to trigger in situations beyond clearly intended product-validation use cases. This increases the chance of unwanted routing, context capture, or inappropriate assistance when user intent is ambiguous, especially in multi-skill environments.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 91% confidence
Finding: The trigger sentence is so generic that ordinary user phrasing about needing help or a workflow could activate the skill unintentionally. Over-broad activation increases the chance of misrouting requests, causing the agent to apply this skill outside its intended scope and potentially override more appropriate safeguards or domain-specific handling.

Vague Triggers

Medium

Confidence: 93% confidence
Finding: The activation examples do not meaningfully constrain invocation and instead mirror broad, common requests for practical help. This can cause the skill to trigger on unrelated business or planning conversations, expanding its authority beyond the validated requirement and increasing the risk of inappropriate tool selection or response shaping.
