It installs only the package-owned qgrid skill, not broad agent configuration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-03T10:08:50.882Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-03T10:09:32.988Z - **Download time:** 1296 ms - **Static scan time:** 6848 ms - **AI review time:** 33961 ms - **Total time:** 42106 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall mutates Codex and Claude Code skill directories without an explicit setup command. It installs only the package-owned qgrid skill, not broad agent configuration. - **Trigger:** npm install (or global npm install) - **Impact:** Enables package-supplied qgrid instructions in supported AI-agent skill paths. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, skills/qgrid/SKILL.md, bundle/dist/utils/providers/openai/codex-worker.js, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T10:09:32.988Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall skill-directory replacement and symlink/copy - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a lifecycle-based, package-owned agent skill installation. It warrants a warning under the extension-lifecycle policy, not a malicious block. - **Files touched:** postinstall.mjs, skills/qgrid, \/.agents/skills/qgrid, \/.claude/skills/qgrid, ~/.codex/skills/qgrid, ~/.claude/skills/qgrid ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json defines postinstall., postinstall.mjs removes and symlinks/copies qgrid skills into .agents and .claude., Global installs write scoped qgrid skills under ~/.codex and ~/.claude. - **Evidence against:** Injected skill is scoped to qgrid repository work; no credential-harvesting or exfiltration behavior found., Codex worker uses temporary CODEX\_HOME and explicitly disables shell, web, apps, plugins, and skills., CLI network/update and runtime-CLI installs occur only after the user runs qgrid. ## Public findings ### 1.
