It writes package-generated instructions into several user-home agent directories. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes postinstall. - **Impact:** Existing or new Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex agent configuration can be altered without user approval. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, bin/cli.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T01:43:24.087Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Forced writes to AI coding-assistant agent directories through the package CLI. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, package.json starts bin/postinstall.js. That script suppresses errors and runs the bundled CLI with skill install --force. The CLI selects home-directory AI-assistant integrations and creates or overwrites agent files for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of broad external AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The package performs forced, silent postinstall writes to multiple foreign AI-agent configuration locations. This meets the blocking policy for unconsented lifecycle mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, bin/cli.js, dist/index.js, ~/.claude/agents, ~/.github/agents, ~/.codex/agents ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The install lifecycle runs a postinstall script automatically., Postinstall silently invokes the package CLI with force enabled., The CLI force-writes skill or agent files into home AI-assistant directories, including Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex., This changes broad third-party AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit user command or consent. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall external-skills list is empty., The inspected install path shows no credential collection or network exfiltration. ## Public findings ### 1.
