Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
94% confidence
Finding
The skill advertises activation on very common phrases like 'Create a new skill' and 'Help me write a SKILL.md', which can cause over-broad invocation and unintended triggering in unrelated conversations. Because this skill can generate, audit, and publish artifacts, accidental activation could steer agent behavior, create files, or influence publishing workflows without the user explicitly intending to use this specific skill.
