AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe postinstall hook establishes the package’s own sync daemon, and the README discloses login startup and automatic updates. The inspected source ties service requests and usage reporting to the sync/dashboard features and user sign-in; no unrelated collection or unauthorized action was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Installation registers the daemon; syncing and usage reporting occur after the user signs in.
Impact
The documented sync and dashboard behavior; no unrelated collection or unauthorized account action was found.
Mechanism
The daemon syncs selected skills and sends dashboard usage data to the configured service using the user’s per-machine token.
AI rationale
The postinstall hook establishes the package’s own sync daemon, and the README discloses login startup and automatic updates. The inspected source ties service requests and usage reporting to the sync/dashboard features and user sign-in; no unrelated collection or unauthorized action was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package syncs selected skills through its Jive service after the user signs in; the daemon uses a per-machine token.
- The README discloses that installation registers the sync daemon to start at login and that it checks for updates every five minutes.
- The daemon reports account identity, plan limits, and local usage for the dashboard; its source says it does not read or send provider credentials.
- Sync code limits file operations to skills on the synced list; other skills are not pushed, overwritten, or deleted.
Evidence against
- A postinstall script runs automatically and can register a persistent login daemon.
- The daemon automatically upgrades itself and sends account usage data to the service when it changes.
