It installs commands and skills that can influence future agent behavior. - **Trigger:** npm install of @optima-chat/dev-skills@0.16.3 - **Impact:** Persistent modification of foreign/broad AI-agent control surfaces. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, .claude/skills/query-db/SKILL.md, .codex/skills/query-db/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T01:56:36.914Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented postinstall copying into global AI-agent directories - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes scripts/install.js automatically. The script creates and populates global ~/.claude/commands and ~/.claude/skills directories, and populates the Codex skills directory, from package-controlled content. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of AI-agent control surfaces; the operational capabilities are subsequently available through those installed instructions. - **Rationale:** The installer directly performs broad, persistent global agent-control-surface writes during postinstall. User-invoked network/credential tooling does not negate that install-time behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install.js, .claude/commands, .claude/skills, .codex/skills, ~/.claude/commands, ~/.claude/skills, $CODEX\_HOME/skills/optima-dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall: node scripts/install.js., scripts/install.js creates and writes ~/.claude/commands and ~/.claude/skills without consent., scripts/install.js recursively copies all packaged .claude skills into Claude’s global control surface., scripts/install.js also writes packaged skills to $CODEX\_HOME/skills/optima-dev or ~/.codex/skills/optima-dev. - **Evidence against:** Installer has no network, payload download, or credential-harvesting logic., Network and secret access in bin/helpers is activated by explicit operational CLI commands., No prompt-injection or covert exfiltration pattern was found in packaged skill files. ## Public findings ### 1.
