## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 2.7.1
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. npm postinstall installs this package's Claude skills into ~/.claude/skills for global installs or .claude/skills in the consuming project. This is a first-party agent-extension lifecycle write; no concrete malicious payload or exfiltration was established.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm postinstall installs this package's Claude skills into ~/.claude/skills for global installs or .claude/skills in the consuming project. This is a first-party agent-extension lifecycle write; no concrete malicious payload or exfiltration was established.

- **Trigger:** npm install or npm install -g

- **Impact:** Installs and overwrites this package's Claude Code extension files; local installs modify .gitignore.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/install.js, README.md, skills/project-scaffold/SKILL.md, skills/shared/references/PROVIDERS.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T00:25:19.828Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** postinstall copies packaged Claude skill and workflow files

- **Rationale:** The postinstall behavior is a guarded first-party Claude extension setup, not a demonstrated malicious chain. It warrants warning because it mutates an AI-agent skill surface during installation.

- **Files touched:** bin/install.js, skills/, lib/workflows/, lib/guidance/, .claude/skills/, .gitignore

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** postinstall executes bin/install.js., Installer writes packaged skills into Claude Code's global or project skill directory., Local installs append .claude-scrum-skill to the project .gitignore.

- **Evidence against:** Installer sources payload only from packaged skills/lib directories., No install-time network, credential harvesting, shell execution, eval, or remote payload loading was found., Remote API examples are documented skill instructions for explicit user-selected project providers.

- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@houseofwolvesllc/claude-scrum-skill@2.7.1/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node bin/install.js
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script

Package text addresses the security reviewer or scanner and tries to influence the review outcome.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```markdown
- **`--skip-on-pause`** (default off) — when a spec's orchestration pauses on a safety gate, mark it skipped and advance to the next spec instead of pausing the queue. Use with caution; safety gates exist for a reason.

- **Path:** bin/install.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@houseofwolvesllc/claude-scrum-skill@2.7.1/bin/install.js>)

Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L27: const skillsDir = resolveSkillsDir();
L28: const location = isGlobalInstall() ? 'global (~/.claude/skills/)' : `project (${skillsDir})`;
L29: console.log(`\n📋 Installing claude-scrum-skill (${location})...\n`);
L30: 
L31: fs.mkdirSync(skillsDir, { recursive: true });
L32: 
...
L55: if (isGlobalInstall()) {
L56: return path.join(HOME, '.claude', 'skills');
