This changes multiple external agent control surfaces without an explicit user command. - **Trigger:** npm installation - **Impact:** It can add or overwrite instructions used by Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Windsurf, and Agent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T18:28:02.700Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Forced postinstall writes to detected AI-agent skill directories - **Attack narrative:** On installation, npm runs the package postinstall hook. That hook silently launches the bundled CLI with skill installation and forced overwrite enabled. The CLI enumerates recognized AI coding-assistant directories beneath the user home directory and writes generated SKILL.md files to each directory that exists. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a broad foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package performs broad, forced AI-agent configuration writes during npm postinstall without user invocation. This meets the install-control-surface block policy even though the installer itself has no demonstrated data-exfiltration path. - **Files touched:** bin/postinstall.js, bin/cli.js, ~/.claude/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md, ~/.github/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md, ~/.cursor/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md, ~/.codex/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md, ~/.opencode/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md, ~/.windsurf/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md, ~/.agent/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Installation automatically runs a postinstall script., The postinstall silently invokes forced skill installation., The CLI targets several AI-agent configuration directories and writes skill files in them. - **Evidence against:** The external skill list is empty., No runtime self-dependency is declared., The postinstall source does not itself send data to a network endpoint. ## Public findings ### 1.
