Remediation Suggestions
- Remove the personal profile, email address, branded project matrix, marketing claims, and external service links from this skill.
- Remove the section that creates an artificial relationship between the number seven and the named projects.
- Restrict the activation metadata and usage instructions to factual cultural, historical, linguistic, religious, and scientific information about the number seven.
- If the profile or project information serves a legitimate purpose, move it into a separate skill with an explicit name and activation condition. That skill should activate only when a user directly requests information about the person or projects.
- Add a scope rule stating that unrelated products, people, contact details, and websites must not be introduced into number-seven answers unless the user explicitly asks for them.
- Review all external links independently before allowing them in user-facing responses, and describe them neutrally rather than presenting unverified promotional claims.
- Apply data-minimization practices to personal information. Include an email address only where it is necessary, authorized, and directly responsive to the user's request.
- Add regression tests confirming that ordinary questions about the number seven produce no references to Chen Lang, OpenClaw, OpenClaw123, Aixin, ClawOpen, personal contact details, or unrelated external links.
