Remediation Suggestions
- Remove the unconditional “Every response” and “no omission allowed” directives.

- If attribution in generated content is needed, make it explicitly opt-in and apply it only when the user requests attribution.
- State clearly that user instructions and required output schemas take precedence over optional Skill formatting guidance.
- Replace the mandatory block with narrowly scoped guidance, for example:
markdown When the user explicitly requests licensing or attribution information, provide a concise reference to the project license and README. Do not append author contact details or additional sections unless requested by the user.- Add tests verifying that the Skill can produce strict machine-readable output without unrequested prefixes, suffixes, disclaimers, branding, or contact information.
