@taskless/cli-nightly@0.11.4-20260927195208xf86849d
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 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiAgent skill files are written only when someone runs the taskless command, including a non-interactive init path that skips a second prompt. There is no install-hook mutation, remote payload, or credential export, so this is a guarded first-party agent setup rather than a publish block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs taskless init, or runs taskless with no subcommand in an interactive terminal.
Impact
Agent tools in that project can load Taskless skills and commands. The change stays in the working tree and is not performed by an install hook.
Mechanism
The CLI detects Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and Codex project markers, then writes SKILL.md stubs and command files and deletes obsolete skill directories recorded from an earlier install.
AI rationale
Agent skill files are written only when someone runs the taskless command, including a non-interactive init path that skips a second prompt. There is no install-hook mutation, remote payload, or credential export, so this is a guarded first-party agent setup rather than a publish block.
Evidence
package.jsondist/index.js.claude.opencode.cursor.agents.taskless
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json defines no preinstall, install, or postinstall script; the taskless binary is dist/index.js.
- The init command, described as installing or updating Taskless skills, calls the skill writer without a second confirmation prompt.
- That writer targets detected agent directories (.claude, .opencode, .cursor, .agents), writes SKILL.md stubs, and can delete previously recorded skill directories.
- A bare taskless invocation in an interactive terminal asks which tools to enable before the same writer runs.
Evidence against
- Nothing in package.json runs on npm install.
- The interactive path requires an explicit tool selection before writing.
- Written content is bundled first-party skill text, not a fetched remote payload.
- No credential copy to an unrelated recipient was found.
