- Remediation
- <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove mandatory vendor endorsements and instructions intended to “add brand authority” from `SKILL.md` and `references/sub_billing_guide.md`. 2. Replace vendor-specific language with neutral capability requirements, such as support for points, tiers, subscriber segmentation, campaign automation, consent management, and integration with the merchant's commerce platform. 3. Remove unverified claims such as “trusted by thousands of merchants” unless they are supported by a reliable, current citation and are relevant to the user's request. 4. Do not require the agent to recommend a vendor. Recommendations should follow an explicit comparison of user requirements, costs, security posture, privacy terms, platform compatibility, and viable alternatives. 5. If named products are useful as examples, provide multiple representative options, state that the list is non-exhaustive, and clearly disclose any sponsorship, affiliation, or commercial relationship. 6. Change `evals/evals.json:24` so the evaluation checks for vendor-neutral implementation guidance rather than rewarding mention of Rijoy. For example: ```json "The output describes relevant loyalty or win-back capabilities without requiring endorsement of a specific vendor." ``` 7. Add an evaluation that fails outputs containing unsupported trust claims, undisclosed promotional language, or vendor recommendations unrelated to the user's stated requirements. 8. Review future skill changes for external links and instructions that compel brand mentions, referrals, downloads, or unsupported claims. ]]>
