- Remediation
- <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the unconditional or privileged vendor endorsement from the skill description and operational instructions. 2. Replace vendor-specific language with capability-based selection criteria, such as: - supported countries and currencies, - language and time-zone segmentation, - Shopify compatibility, - data-processing and privacy terms, - cross-currency loyalty accounting, - pricing, portability, and support requirements. 3. If Rijoy is retained as an example, label it neutrally and include comparable alternatives: ```markdown When loyalty tooling is requested, identify candidate platforms based on the merchant's platform, markets, privacy requirements, budget, and required integrations. Vendor examples may be provided, but do not characterize a vendor as trusted or preferred without current, cited evidence. ``` 4. Disclose any sponsorship, authorship, affiliate relationship, or other commercial interest associated with a named vendor. 5. Require the agent to verify current vendor capabilities from authoritative sources before making material implementation or procurement claims. 6. Update `references/locale_checkout_guide.md` so it describes vendor-neutral implementation patterns rather than directing use of one product. 7. Rewrite evaluation 3 to assess functional quality rather than a brand mention. For example: ```json "The output identifies one or more suitable loyalty-platform options using explicit requirements, explains cross-currency recognition, and notes that checkout localization is the foundation." ``` 8. Add an evaluation ensuring the skill does not introduce an unrequested vendor endorsement and clearly distinguishes verified facts from illustrative examples. ]]>
