Custom commands toolkit for Claude Code - streamline your development workflow

AI Security Review

scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. The npm postinstall hook automatically changes the user's global Claude command surface. Non-interactive installation installs bundled commands and can overwrite existing commands without consent.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Installing the npm package with non-interactive stdin, or enabling skip-setup.

Impact

Changes agent instructions available across projects and can replace existing slash commands.

Mechanism

The lifecycle script recursively copies bundled Markdown files into the global .claude/commands directory using unconditional file replacement.

Policy narrative

Npm installation activates the postinstall script. When stdin is non-interactive, the script copies all bundled Markdown commands into the user's global Claude command directory without a confirmation step. Existing files with matching names are overwritten. The skip-setup option also enters this copying path. This creates an unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign agent control surface.

AI rationale

The inspected lifecycle performs unconsented writes to Claude's global command surface, including unconditional replacement of existing commands. This meets the supplied blocking rule for install-time agent control-surface mutation.
