Chemical X Protocol: Private drop-in architecture starter kit and capsule generator
AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected CLI behaviors are invoked by the user and aligned with scaffolding, license validation, and audit publishing. The generated .cursorrules content is package-specific and is written only during scaffolding when the target file is absent.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user invokes one of the package’s CLI commands, such as scaffolding a project or publishing an audit.
Impact
The inspected behavior creates project files and performs the expected license and audit operations. No confirmed malicious attack surface was established.
Mechanism
Scaffolding retrieves or loads starter files and may add package-specific editor rules in a new target; license validation sends the entered or cached key and a generated device ID to the configured service.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and the inspected CLI behaviors are invoked by the user and aligned with scaffolding, license validation, and audit publishing. The generated .cursorrules content is package-specific and is written only during scaffolding when the target file is absent.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes the CLI through bin entries and defines no lifecycle install hooks.
- cli/license.js sends a supplied license key and generated device ID to the package’s license service to validate the key and retrieve starter files.
- cli/scaffold.js writes a package-specific .cursorrules file only when the user runs the scaffolder and the target file is absent.
- cli/terminal.js launches a browser with a URL supplied by the CLI; the inspected path does not show arbitrary shell command construction.
- cli/navigator-share.js publishes audit content through the package’s GitHub Discussions publishing flow.
