It writes AI-agent configuration and skills across default adapters without a user command or approval. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during a project installation - **Impact:** Changes behavior-bearing project AI-agent files, including .claude and adapter skill roots. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin/postinstall.mjs, dist/src/postinstall.mjs, dist/src/adapters.mjs, dist/src/bootstrap.mjs, dist/src/templates.mjs, dist/src/file-ops.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T01:41:33.293Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic bootstrap writes AI-agent control-surface configuration - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, postinstall calls bootstrap against INIT\_CWD with non-interactive approval. With no adapter selection supplied, the bootstrap selects all registered adapters and writes generated skills/configuration into the consuming repository, including Claude control files. This is unconsented install-time mutation of a broad, foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Rationale:** The package performs behavior-bearing cross-agent configuration writes during postinstall without an explicit user command. This meets the install-control-surface blocking boundary despite no observed exfiltration. - **Files touched:** \/.claude/settings.json, \/.claude/commands/start-task.md, \/.agents/skills/\*\*, \/.ai/skills-src/\*\*, \/.ai-agent-kit/\*\*, \/AGENTS.md, \/CLAUDE.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** npm postinstall invokes the package executable., Postinstall silently bootstraps the install project with --non-interactive --yes., Default adapter selection is all registered AI-agent adapters., Bootstrap writes generated configuration, including Claude settings and agent skills, into the target project. - **Evidence against:** No install-time network endpoint or credential exfiltration was found in inspected lifecycle sources., Generated Claude settings deny reads of common secret paths. ## Public findings ### 1.
