This is an unconsented install-time mutation of multiple foreign agent control surfaces. - **Trigger:** npm install runs the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Existing assistant skill files for this package name can be overwritten across installed editor and agent configurations. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T23:11:36.133Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Forced silent installation of generated AI assistant skills. - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the postinstall script launches the package CLI with \`skill install --force\` while piping and discarding command output. The CLI detects multiple AI assistant configuration directories in the user's home directory and creates or overwrites the Mindframes skill files there. This occurs without an explicit user command or prompt and crosses several separate assistant control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The package performs silent, forced postinstall writes into multiple AI assistant configuration directories. That is a concrete unconsented broad agent-control-surface mutation, despite no confirmed exfiltration in the hook. - **Files touched:** bin/postinstall.js, bin/cli.js, dist/index.js, $HOME/.claude/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md, $HOME/.github/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md, $HOME/.cursor/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md, $HOME/.codex/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md, $HOME/.opencode/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md, $HOME/.windsurf/skills/mindframes/SKILL.md, $HOME/.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:** An npm postinstall hook automatically runs the skill installer., The hook invokes the installer with force and suppresses all output and failures., The installer writes skills into several existing AI assistant configuration directories under the home directory. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall hook has no active external skill repositories., No network request or credential collection occurs in the postinstall hook., The manifest has no dependency on another version of this package. ## Public findings ### 1.
