A global npm install automatically adds package and third-party skills to shared AI-agent directories. This changes the instruction/control surface consumed across projects. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-25T08:56:26.124Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-25T08:57:10.716Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 50 ms - **AI review time:** 43785 ms - **Total time:** 44592 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A global npm install automatically adds package and third-party skills to shared AI-agent directories. This changes the instruction/control surface consumed across projects. - **Trigger:** npm i -g @kyh/skills postinstall - **Impact:** Mutable third-party instructions become available to universal agents and Claude. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/link.mjs, external-skills.json, mcp.json, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-25T08:57:10.716Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global agent-directory linking plus remote skill installation - **Rationale:** Source inspection supports a documented global agent-extension installer, not concrete malware. Its automatic remote third-party skill installation warrants a warning under the agent-extension lifecycle policy. - **Files touched:** scripts/link.mjs, external-skills.json, mcp.json, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.agents/agents, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.claude/agents, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.claude.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/link.mjs as postinstall., scripts/link.mjs runs on global installs and populates ~/.agents and ~/.claude., It automatically invokes skills add for 14 mutable third-party repos from external-skills.json., The lifecycle script can merge package MCP entries into ~/.claude.json. - **Evidence against:** Local and CI postinstall paths explicitly skip linking., mcp.json contains no MCP servers., No credential harvesting, exfiltration, eval, or hidden payload logic found., Writes are documented and preserve/back up conflicting user files. ## Public findings ### 1.

High: Runtime Package Install - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Path:** scripts/link.mjs - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source invokes a package manager install command at runtime. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L10: // 4. External skill repos in external-skills.json are installed globally with L11: // the bundled `skills` CLI (falls back to `npx skills`), all in parallel by L12: // default (throttle with KYH_SKILLS_CONCURRENCY; skip with ...
