It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. npm installation silently overwrites AI-agent skill directories in the user's home directory.

The installed skill content may be generated from a live service catalog. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm. - **Impact:** It mutates broad third-party AI-agent control surfaces without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T23:12:34.037Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall command force-installs generated skills into detected agent-control directories. - **Attack narrative:** When npm installs the package, its postinstall launcher suppresses failures and runs a forced skill installation. That command defaults to the user's home directory, overwrites existing skill files, and targets multiple unrelated AI-agent directories. The generated content can be based on a live capability catalog, so the automatic agent-control mutation is not limited to a fixed package artifact. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces. The forced global installation makes the behavior concrete and block-worthy. - **Files touched:** bin/postinstall.js, dist/index.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 - **Network endpoints:** https://www.mindframes.app ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** Installation automatically runs a postinstall launcher., The launcher silently invokes a forced skill installation., The skill command defaults to the home directory and permits overwriting existing files., The installer targets Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Windsurf, and Agent directories., It fetches a live capability catalog without authentication before generating skills. - **Evidence against:** The configured external skill list is empty., No self-dependency is declared in the manifest. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @conceptcraft/mindframes@0.3.25. - Avoid installing @conceptcraft/mindframes@0.3.25. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
