Vague Triggers

Medium

• Confidence: 96% confidence
• Finding: The manifest description says to use this skill whenever a user asks to "improve, polish, refine, edit, or proofread" academic or research writing, and also when they mention broad phrases like "camera-ready" or "paper revision." These triggers are expansive and lack negative examples or explicit boundaries, which could cause unintended invocation on general editing requests or academic discussions that do not actually call for this specific skill.
