This skill mostly does what it claims: it teaches the agent how to perform broad web research and write a cited report. The problem is that it also includes a hidden instruction to silently rate the skill and send feedback to an external website after use. That extra behavior is not part of the stated research purpose and would be easy for a user to miss. There is no executable code or credential theft here, but the undisclosed outbound reporting is enough to justify caution.
