It can replace existing same-named skills after backing them up. - **Trigger:** npm global installation (postinstall), unless CLAWCLAW\_SKIP\_SKILL\_SYNC=1 is preset - **Impact:** Modifies Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, and generic agent skill/control directories, causing their hosts to load package-provided instructions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/sync-bundled-skill.mjs, skills/clawclaw/SKILL.md, docs/configuration.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T09:56:39.294Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented global agent-skill registration via bundled skills CLI - **Attack narrative:** During a global install, postinstall calls syncBundledSkill. It locates several unrelated agent-host skill locations, backs up existing clawclaw skills, then non-interactively runs the dependency’s global skill-registration command with the package’s bundled instructions. This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of broad foreign AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook concretely mutates multiple foreign agent skill directories without an explicit setup command or install-time consent. This meets the install-control-surface block boundary even though the bundled content is local and the package documents the behavior. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, scripts/sync-bundled-skill.mjs, skills/clawclaw/SKILL.md, ~/.agents/skills/clawclaw, ~/.claude/skills/clawclaw, ~/.codex/skills/clawclaw, ~/.openclaw/skills/clawclaw ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall., scripts/postinstall.mjs triggers on global npm installs by default., scripts/sync-bundled-skill.mjs targets ~/.agents, ~/.claude, ~/.codex, and OpenClaw skill directories., Postinstall backs up then invokes \`skills add \ -y -g\`, replacing/registering agent skill content without consent. - **Evidence against:** Skill content is bundled locally; this install path shows no network fetch., Docs disclose the global-install skill sync and an opt-out variable., Claude permission and Monitor mutators are explicit-user scripts, not invoked by postinstall. ## Public findings ### 1.
