## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 2.0.14
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. npm postinstall installs GoodVibes-owned agent and skill markdown into the user’s GoodVibes directory. The bundled instructions can influence a GoodVibes agent’s workflow when loaded.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm postinstall installs GoodVibes-owned agent and skill markdown into the user’s GoodVibes directory. The bundled instructions can influence a GoodVibes agent’s workflow when loaded.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package runs postinstall.

- **Impact:** Unconsented modification of the package-owned GoodVibes agent extension surface; no credential theft or foreign-agent takeover was confirmed.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, .goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md, .goodvibes/agents/reviewer.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-16T01:25:52.438Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** automatic first-party agent-extension deployment with remote binary fallback

- **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an automatic first-party agent-extension installation and agent-directed bundled instructions. This meets the guarded lifecycle-risk warning boundary, while no concrete exfiltration, destructive action, or foreign/broad AI-agent mutation was found.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, .goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md, .goodvibes/agents/reviewer.md, .goodvibes/skills/add-provider/SKILL.md, $HOME/.goodvibes/tui/skills, $HOME/.goodvibes/tui/agents, $HOME/.goodvibes/GOODVIBES.md

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** postinstall runs automatically and deploys bundled agent/skill files into the user’s GoodVibes home., Bundled GOODVIBES.md contains imperative agent-workflow instructions, including forced multi-agent execution., postinstall may download a release binary from the package repository fallback path; its checksum is fetched from the same release base.

- **Evidence against:** The deployed files target the package’s own .goodvibes namespace, not a foreign agent control surface., Deployment is non-overwriting: existing destination entries are skipped., No inspected code exfiltrates credentials or writes broad persistence outside the GoodVibes namespace.
