It writes a DevOps skill into both agent ecosystems before the user invokes the CLI. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers the post-install hook. - **Impact:** It changes the control instructions available to installed coding agents across the user account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-30T02:27:49.227Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic global AI-agent skill installation. - **Attack narrative:** The manifest runs scripts/postinstall.js during installation. That script creates global .agents and .claude skill directories under the user home directory and writes SKILL.md into each. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces. The CLI's Portainer API behavior is user-configured and does not establish a separate exfiltration path, but it does not mitigate the automatic agent-control mutation. - **Rationale:** The automatic post-install hook writes to global AI-agent skill locations without an explicit user command. This meets the blocking policy for unconsented install-time mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Files touched:** ~/.agents/skills/devops/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/skills/devops/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package runs a post-install script automatically., The install script creates global skill directories for two unrelated AI-agent ecosystems., The script writes a skill file into both global agent locations without user action. - **Evidence against:** The install script contains no network request or credential collection., Runtime network calls target a user-configured Portainer server, not a hard-coded collection endpoint. ## Public findings ### 1.
