Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple Harvard citation-formatting skill with no executable behavior, persistence, credential use, or hidden data access.

Installers should treat this as a narrow referencing aid: confirm the required institutional Harvard variant before use, provide accurate source details, and review the generated citations for consistency and completeness.

Finding
The manifest description says "Use for papers requiring Harvard style," which is a general-purpose instruction rather than a narrowly scoped trigger. It does not define explicit invocation phrases, constraints, or negative examples, so the skill could be selected for a wide range of everyday referencing requests beyond the intended context.
