This is a meal-planning helper whose behavior is mostly disclosed and purpose-aligned, though users should know it stores profile details in plaintext and may send city-based search queries externally.
Before installing, be comfortable with the skill saving household food-planning details, budget, city, and dietary restrictions in a local plaintext file. Also expect recipe and price lookups to use web search, which may expose the search terms and city to the search provider despite the skill's current privacy wording.

SKILL.md:68Misleading External-Connectivity and Privacy Claims
The activation description is broad enough to match many generic cooking, recipe, or nutrition questions, which can cause the skill to trigger outside clearly intended boundaries. Over-broad triggering can lead to unnecessary collection or exposure of stored profile data and can override a user's expectation of a general answer rather than a stateful skill.
The skill is framed specifically for Chinese-language and China-locale usage, including Chinese cities, local grocery platforms, and Chinese cuisine assumptions, without stating that user locale or language preference should be confirmed first. This can cause incorrect searches, culturally mismatched recommendations, and unintended disclosure or processing of user context based on assumptions rather than explicit consent.
No suspicious patterns detected.
