@taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.2-20260908060302x2a45fa2
Nightly build of [`@taskless/cli`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@taskless/cli) — the same source and the same build, published from an unreleased commit on `main`.
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is not malicious install-hook abuse because the manifest has no install lifecycle hook and the writes occur in the CLI setup flow. It remains a warning because non-interactive setup can modify detected AI-agent integrations and the CLI sends telemetry.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Run taskless init, including its non-interactive mode; telemetry initializes on CLI execution.
Impact
Project-local AI-agent behavior can be extended with Taskless instructions; repository metadata is disclosed to the Taskless telemetry host.
Mechanism
Agent extension setup and telemetry collection.
AI rationale
This is not malicious install-hook abuse because the manifest has no install lifecycle hook and the writes occur in the CLI setup flow. It remains a warning because non-interactive setup can modify detected AI-agent integrations and the CLI sends telemetry.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The init command detects Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and Codex project markers.
- Init writes Taskless skill and command stubs into selected agent-tool directories.
- Non-interactive init installs mandatory skills into every detected tool.
- CLI telemetry sends a generated identifier, version data, and repository owner metadata to z.taskless.io unless disabled.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- Agent-file changes are reached through the user-invoked CLI init flow, not package installation.
- Authentication uses an explicit device-login flow and stores its token in the project-local .taskless directory.
- No hidden payload execution or credential redirection was confirmed; several scanner matches are bundled dependencies or rule examples.

Previous Version Dangerous Delta
