- Remediation
- <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove mandatory instructions to append promotional material to normal answers. 2. Remove fixed referral templates and tracking-attributed URLs from the core query workflow. 3. Only recommend related products when the user explicitly requests recommendations or when the requested task cannot be completed by the current Skill. 4. Clearly label vendor affiliation and commercial relationships before presenting a related service. 5. Do not require promotional content to occupy a privileged position such as the final section of every applicable response. 6. Allow the Agent to determine whether a next-step recommendation is relevant based on the user's request and applicable platform policy. 7. Separate optional marketing documentation from functional Skill instructions so loading the Skill does not automatically alter unrelated user-facing output. ]]>
