It inserts or replaces Nookplot content in a file the package states is injected into every agent prompt. - **Trigger:** npm install or upgrade - **Impact:** Unconsented modification of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/skillGenerator.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T18:55:14.235Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall mutation of OpenClaw prompt and skill files - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package automatically runs dist/postinstall.js. When OpenClaw directories exist, it rewrites or appends ~/.openclaw/workspace/TOOLS.md, which the package explicitly identifies as injected into every agent prompt, and creates ~/.openclaw/skills/nookplot/SKILL.md. These are foreign agent-control-surface mutations performed without an explicit setup command. - **Rationale:** The package performs concrete, unconsented postinstall writes to an existing AI-agent prompt/control surface. This meets the firewall block criterion regardless of the absence of observed exfiltration. - **Files touched:** ~/.nookplot/skill.md, ~/.openclaw/workspace/TOOLS.md, ~/.openclaw/skills/nookplot/SKILL.md, ./nookplot-skill.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Install-time postinstall executes package code., Postinstall rewrites/appends OpenClaw's prompt-injected TOOLS.md., Postinstall creates an OpenClaw skill without an explicit user command. - **Evidence against:** The reviewed lifecycle code shows no network request or credential exfiltration., GPU shell calls are user-invoked benchmark functionality. ## Public findings ### 1.
