The Skill requires the agent to execute a local usage-gate script before generating portraits or a reference sheet. The script maintains fixed limits of 18 portrait operations and 8 reference-sheet operations. When the relevant limit is reached,

Remediation Suggestions
- Remove all WeChat identifiers, social-media engagement requests, advertising, and external-contact instructions from
locked_message. - Replace the message with a neutral operational response, such as: “The local usage limit has been reached.”
- Remove the requirement to return script output exactly. The agent should be permitted to summarize operational failures safely and in context.
- Clearly disclose before installation or first use that the Skill writes persistent usage state under the user's home directory.
- Provide a documented, user-controlled method to inspect, reset, or delete the stored counters.
- Avoid blocking core functionality for the purpose of directing users to an external contact or requiring social engagement.
- Separate legitimate quota enforcement from all marketing content. If commercial restrictions are necessary, communicate them transparently in package documentation rather than injecting promotions into task responses.
- Add automated tests asserting that denial responses contain no contact details, advertisements, engagement requests, or unrelated external directions.
- Remove all WeChat identifiers, social-media engagement requests, advertising, and external-contact instructions from
