Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The postinstall hook performs first-party agent setup by writing package-authored rules into a consumer control file. Its default rules require owner review, but the automatic behavior change leaves residual agent-extension lifecycle risk, so warn rather than block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T14:02:16.146Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T14:03:41.124Z - **Download time:** 1531 ms - **Static scan time:** 37 ms - **AI review time:** 83409 ms - **Total time:** 84978 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The postinstall hook automatically places this package's workflow rules in the consumer project's root agent instruction file. This first-party extension setup changes agent behavior without a separate setup command, leaving lifecycle risk; no independent attack behavior was established. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm triggers its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Coding agents that read the file may follow the added workflow instructions; the included default mode requires owner review. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.mjs, rules/AGENTS.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T14:03:41.124Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer selects package-provided rules and writes them into AGENTS.md, or CLAUDE.md when that is the available agent instruction file. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook performs first-party agent setup by writing package-authored rules into a consumer control file. Its default rules require owner review, but the automatic behavior change leaves residual agent-extension lifecycle risk, so warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package postinstall hook runs the installer during npm installation., The installer writes selected package rules into the consumer project's root AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md file., The supplied rules default to manual operation and require owner review at each step., The rules block is marked as package-managed, and a separate uninstaller removes manifest-listed installed files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @softure-ai/skills@0.13.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @softure-ai/skills@0.13.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
