Installation writes and enables a bundled extension in Pi's user-level agent-extension directory. The extension can discover checked-out agent skill directories and modify Pi's startup prompt within validated Agency workbases; no exfiltration or remote payload execution was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T19:20:19.839Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T19:21:14.140Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 2441 ms - **AI review time:** 51096 ms - **Total time:** 54301 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation writes and enables a bundled extension in Pi's user-level agent-extension directory. The extension can discover checked-out agent skill directories and modify Pi's startup prompt within validated Agency workbases; no exfiltration or remote payload execution was found. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall, then Pi resource discovery or agent startup inside an Agency workbase. - **Impact:** Pi sessions in eligible Agency workbases receive Agency-provided instructions and skill paths. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts, src/utils/interactive-loader.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T19:21:14.140Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** First-party Pi extension installation and lifecycle prompt/resource hooks. - **Rationale:** This is a package-owned Pi extension installed automatically at lifecycle time, which warrants a warning under the extension-lifecycle policy. Source inspection found no concrete malicious chain. - **Files touched:** scripts/install-pi-extension.ts, pi-extensions/agency.ts, ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts, .agency/AGENTS.md, .claude/skills, .agents/skills, .opencode/skill, .opencode/skills, .pi/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall automatically installs a Pi agent extension., Installer copies the bundled extension to ~/.pi/agent/extensions/agency.ts., Extension discovers agent skill paths and appends workbase instructions to Pi's system prompt. - **Evidence against:** Installer only copies a bundled local file; no network or remote payload path was found., Extension activation is gated on a validated Agency workbase context., Dynamic import resolves a fixed @opentui/solid/preload module path. ## Public findings ### 1.
