It also suppresses Copilot review of the generated agent-control files. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** The package persists package-controlled instructions and skills in the consumer project, enables future dependency lifecycle scripts, and impairs review of those files. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, merge.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T03:57:38.110Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall writes project configuration and launches an agent-rules initializer - **Attack narrative:** On installation, postinstall locates the consuming project, appends settings that enable dependency pre/post scripts and disable lockfile and side-effect protections, then runs its initializer there. The initializer writes broad AI-agent instruction files, copies skills into .claude/skills, and creates a Copilot instruction that excludes those generated files from review. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of broad project and AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle chain deliberately weakens package-manager protections, writes broad agent-control files, and suppresses review of those files. No network theft is needed for this concrete install-hook abuse. - **Files touched:** .npmrc, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.private.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/instructions/no-review-docs.instructions.md, .github/PULL\_REQUEST\_TEMPLATE.md, .claude/skills/\* ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package runs postinstall automatically., Postinstall modifies the consumer project's .npmrc to enable dependency lifecycle scripts and disable safeguards., Postinstall launches initialization in the consumer project., Initialization writes agent instruction files and copies skills into Claude's project control surface., It installs an instruction telling Copilot code review to skip package-generated agent files. - **Evidence against:** No network endpoint or credential collection was found., The screenshot helper only reads an input image and writes a requested HTML output. ## Public findings ### 1.
