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 package has no npm lifecycle hook, but its user-invoked setup can modify AI-agent configuration directories. Under the agent integration policy, that concrete capability warrants a non-blocking warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T23:50:22.986Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T23:51:42.430Z - **Download time:** 1007 ms - **Static scan time:** 2474 ms - **AI review time:** 75963 ms - **Total time:** 79444 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 CLI can configure Taskless skills for detected AI coding tools. No automatic install-time attack surface was identified. - **Trigger:** A user runs the Taskless setup flow or the explicit taskless init command. - **Impact:** This can modify AI-agent project configuration after a user command, but no unconsented lifecycle mutation or data exfiltration was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T23:51:42.430Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The bundle detects project agent directories and writes Taskless skill files to selected configuration targets; init can perform this as a non-interactive batch operation. - **Rationale:** The package has no npm lifecycle hook, but its user-invoked setup can modify AI-agent configuration directories. Under the agent integration policy, that concrete capability warrants a non-blocking warning. - **Files touched:** .taskless, .claude, .opencode, .cursor, .agents ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook and exposes the executable through dist/index.js., The bundle detects Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and Codex project locations., The interactive setup asks the user which tools to enable before configuration., The setup path writes Taskless skill files into selected agent locations., The explicit init command supports unattended batch installation. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting, unrestricted credential forwarding, remote payload execution, or self-dependency was identified in the inspected paths., No install-time hook triggers the agent configuration behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.0-20260929234608x944fe92. - Review the evidence and your use of @taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.0-20260929234608x944fe92 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.
