Security audit

Product Validation Planner

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a documentation-only product validation planning skill with broad triggers, but no hidden execution, persistence, credential use, or data exfiltration behavior.

Installers should expect this skill to help with product idea validation and lightweight planning. The main caveat is that its broad trigger language may make it activate for some general business or startup conversations, so explicit invocation or tighter trigger wording would improve routing precision.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
92% confidence
Finding
The trigger sentence begins with very common conversational phrasing such as 'Help me' and 'I need', which can cause the skill to activate on many unrelated user requests. In an agentic system, overly broad triggers increase the chance of unintended routing, causing the model to apply business-validation instructions when the user did not explicitly ask for this skill.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The trigger phrase uses a very broad everyday-language opener ('Help me ...'), which can cause the skill to activate in contexts far beyond its intended scope. Over-broad activation increases the chance of prompt hijacking, accidental routing, or unintended exposure of the skill’s instructions during unrelated conversations.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The invocation guidance defines broad keywords and permissive example phrases without clear boundaries, making it easy for normal conversation about business, products, or startups to unintentionally match. In an agent environment, this can lead to over-triggering, incorrect tool selection, and expanded attack surface if adversarial users deliberately craft ambiguous requests to force skill invocation.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill description and usage guidance are broad enough that the router may invoke this skill for many loosely related requests such as general business, prototype, or SaaS questions. That can cause unintended routing, reducing answer quality and potentially bypassing more appropriate specialized skills or policy checks tied to narrower domains.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The trigger keywords are highly generic terms like 'validation', 'prototype', 'saas', and 'startup', which are common across many unrelated conversations. This increases the chance of accidental invocation and prompt-scope confusion, especially because the example trigger sentences also mirror broad natural-language phrasing without tight constraints.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill description and trigger scope are broad enough to match many common business or product-related requests, increasing the chance of unintended invocation. This is dangerous because an over-triggering skill can override more appropriate specialized skills, causing misrouting, irrelevant automation, or unsafe task execution in contexts the skill was not designed to handle.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
91% confidence
Finding
The example trigger phrases use generic everyday wording that can match a wide range of normal user requests, which makes accidental activation likely. In an agent environment, this can lead to prompt-routing confusion and the skill being selected even when the user did not specifically want product-validation planning, reducing reliability and potentially exposing unrelated tasks to inappropriate workflow logic.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The default prompt is overly broad and maps to common business/product requests, which increases the chance this skill is invoked when the user did not explicitly intend to use it. Because implicit invocation is enabled, this can cause unintended routing of user requests and unnecessary exposure of user context to the skill.

Vague Triggers

High
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The trigger sentence begins with a very broad everyday phrase ('Help me') and then appends a long requirement description, making activation criteria overly permissive. In agent environments, vague triggers can cause unintended invocation on unrelated user requests, leading to misrouting, prompt confusion, and accidental application of business-planning behavior where it was not requested.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The sentence 'I need a practical workflow for ...' is still ambiguous because 'practical workflow' is generic and the rest of the trigger is a pasted requirement statement rather than a natural, user-scoped intent. This can cause the skill to activate for loosely related operational requests, reducing routing precision and increasing the chance of inappropriate or confusing outputs.
