Remediation Suggestions
- Remove mandatory language requiring links, QR codes, group invitations, hashtags, or account mentions.
- Generate promotional CTAs only when the user explicitly requests them.
- Before inserting an external destination, display the exact URL and obtain explicit user confirmation.
- Clearly separate optional campaign guidance from the content intended for publication.
- Permit scripts to end without an external CTA.
- Label third-party forms and groups as external services and explain that their privacy practices are outside the Skill's control.
- Verify campaign links against authoritative documentation and remove the inconsistent identifier at line 818.
- Avoid automatically repeating campaign promotion during unrelated workflow stages.
- Add a configuration option that disables all external promotion by default.
