## Limitations

- Does not implement popup code or connect to marketing platforms.
- Requires traffic, audience, and offer context for precise recommendations.
- Cannot guarantee conversion lift without testing and enough sample size.
- Does not replace legal review for privacy, consent, or accessibility obligations.

## Best Practices

- Match the popup offer to the page context and visitor intent.
- Make dismissal obvious, remembered, and accessible on every device.
- Measure both conversions and negative signals such as close rate and complaints.

## Anti Patterns

- Showing a full-screen popup before visitors see the page content.
- Using guilt-based decline copy or hiding the close control.
- Running multiple popups without audience rules, frequency caps, or conflict logic.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-06T08:10:53.612\+00:00
- Summary: The two static findings are false positives caused by ordinary popup optimization guidance. SKILL.md recommends easy dismissal and non-manipulative decline copy, with no evidence of reconnaissance, command execution, prompt injection, or data exfiltration.
