It recursively removes existing qgrid skill directories before linking or copying package content. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during local or global package installation - **Impact:** Can alter instructions available to Codex and Claude Code in a consuming project or user profile. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, skills/qgrid/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T11:50:30.503Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented AI-agent skill installation and replacement - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package automatically runs postinstall.mjs. For project installs it recursively removes and then symlinks or copies the packaged skill into both .agents/skills/qgrid and .claude/skills/qgrid; global installs target CODEX\_HOME and CLAUDE\_HOME instead. These are foreign AI-agent instruction surfaces and the mutation occurs without an explicit setup command. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook performs concrete, unconsented replacement of broad foreign AI-agent skill locations. This meets the install-control-surface blocking boundary despite no observed install-time exfiltration. - **Files touched:** .agents/skills/qgrid, .claude/skills/qgrid, $CODEX\_HOME/skills/qgrid, $CLAUDE\_HOME/skills/qgrid, skills/qgrid ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json invokes postinstall.mjs automatically., postinstall.mjs deletes and replaces project .agents/skills/qgrid., It also deletes and replaces project .claude/skills/qgrid., Global installs copy skills into CODEX\_HOME and CLAUDE\_HOME. - **Evidence against:** postinstall.mjs makes no network requests., Bundled skill is qgrid repository guidance, not an observed payload., Runtime OAuth/network code is user-invoked server functionality. ## Public findings ### 1.
