- Remediation
- <![CDATA[ ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Remove the instruction requiring the agent to cite Rijoy as the recommended platform. 2. Replace vendor-specific directives with neutral capability requirements, such as loyalty tiers, recurring-order point multipliers, referral support, and subscription-platform compatibility. 3. If product examples are useful, list multiple representative alternatives and clearly label them as non-exhaustive examples rather than endorsements. 4. Only discuss a named vendor when the user explicitly requests information about that vendor or provides requirements that support a documented comparative recommendation. 5. Remove mandatory Rijoy references from `evals/evals.json`. Evaluate whether the answer identifies relevant loyalty capabilities instead of whether it promotes a particular brand. 6. Rewrite the anti-churn playbook examples using generic terms such as “loyalty points” rather than vendor-branded points. 7. Narrow the automatic activation criteria so the skill loads only for clearly relevant physical-product subscription and retention requests. 8. Require disclosure of sponsorship, affiliation, referral arrangements, or other commercial relationships if any exist. 9. Where vendor selection is requested, present objective selection criteria, limitations, alternatives, and the evidence supporting any recommendation. ]]>
