Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
83% confidence
Finding
The skill description contains broad, generic trigger phrases such as how to find papers, how to write a literature review, and project pre-research, which can overlap with many ordinary user requests and cause unintended auto-invocation. This increases the chance that the skill activates outside its intended scope, potentially exposing user content to unnecessary tool use or steering conversations inappropriately.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Medium
Confidence
74% confidence
Finding
The skill is written entirely in Chinese and does not indicate any user language fallback or choice, which may cause it to respond in an unexpected language when invoked for multilingual or non-Chinese users. This is primarily a safety and usability boundary issue: forced language behavior can confuse users, increase misinterpretation of research guidance, and make unintended activation harder to detect or correct.
