AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source establishes a deliberate bypass of the package's manual Git approval hook, with default staging of the working tree, so the package should be blocked. The credential alert resolves to the intended Anthropic usage endpoint.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user invokes the bundled development workflow and a phase passes.
Impact
Changes can be committed without the hook's manual approval path. The helper refuses main and master and does not push by default.
Mechanism
The skill tells the agent to use a Git CLI that launches Git through a child process, which the Bash-only hook cannot inspect.
Attack narrative
The package includes a Git hook that blocks shell-issued writes pending manual approval, then directs its development agent workflow to commit through a child-process CLI specifically because the hook will not see that call. The helper stages all changes by default, so unrelated working-tree changes can enter local commits. The helper's branch restriction and no-push default limit the impact, but do not restore the bypassed approval.
AI rationale
The source establishes a deliberate bypass of the package's manual Git approval hook, with default staging of the working tree, so the package should be blocked. The credential alert resolves to the intended Anthropic usage endpoint.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 95.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The development skill directs the agent to commit after each passing phase through the CLI, and its companion instructions explicitly say this bypasses the manual Bash hook by design.
- The installed Git hook blocks Git write commands issued through Claude Code's Bash tool.
- The commit helper stages the whole working tree by default and runs Git through a child process; it blocks commits on main and master, and pushes only when requested.
- The CLI registers the Git hook as a guard against unapproved Git writes.
- The statusline sends Claude Code's saved OAuth token to Anthropic's usage endpoint for quota data, with an expiry check and background refresh.
Evidence against
- The Git helper prevents commits on main and master and does not push unless the caller requests it.
- The statusline credential transfer is directed to api.anthropic.com's OAuth usage endpoint, not an unrelated recipient.
