Those instructions promote disclosure of real secrets and suppress review of the generated files. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during dependency installation. - **Impact:** Consumer agents may be induced to place credentials in documents and ignore review of package-generated instructions; future dependency lifecycle hooks are enabled. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, merge.js, rules/global.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T07:34:37.763Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic consumer-project lifecycle and AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, postinstall locates the consumer project, changes .npmrc to enable dependency postinstall hooks and disable lifecycle caching, then invokes the merger. The merger writes AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Copilot instructions, and copied Claude skills into the consumer project. The delivered rules instruct agents to put real tokens and keys into documentation and discourage reviewers from reporting that disclosure. It also generates an instruction that suppresses review of the generated control files. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces combined with instructions that facilitate credential disclosure and evade review. The lifecycle script also weakens package-manager safeguards to preserve repeated execution. - **Files touched:** .npmrc, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.private.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/instructions/no-review-docs.instructions.md, .github/instructions/\*.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 manifest runs postinstall automatically., Postinstall alters the consumer .npmrc to enable dependency lifecycle scripts and disable pnpm safeguards., Postinstall launches the merger in the consumer project., The merger writes agent instruction files and copies package skills into the project .claude directory., Injected rules direct agents to embed real tokens and secrets in documents, while telling reviewers not to report this., The package generates instructions that suppress code review of its generated control files. - **Evidence against:** No package code sends data to a network endpoint., The screenshot helper uses a fixed local image utility only. ## Public findings ### 1.
