AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe inspected source establishes explicit CLI mutation of agent skill directories, which the supplied policy classifies as a warning. There is no npm install lifecycle trigger or concrete evidence supporting a malicious publish block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Run taskless init or complete interactive Taskless setup.
Impact
Installed instructions become available to AI agents; later explicit setup runs can refresh or remove previously recorded Taskless files.
Mechanism
Setup detects or selects agent directories, writes skill and command references, and saves installation state for subsequent setup runs.
AI rationale
The inspected source establishes explicit CLI mutation of agent skill directories, which the supplied policy classifies as a warning. There is no npm install lifecycle trigger or concrete evidence supporting a malicious publish block.
Evidence
dist/index.js.taskless.claude.agents.cursor.opencode
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The explicit init command invokes setup that installs or refreshes Taskless agent skills.
- Setup targets project directories .claude, .agents, .cursor, and .opencode.
- Setup creates agent skill files and records installed targets; repeated init commands can refresh them without another prompt.
- Interactive setup asks which agent tools to enable.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no runtime self-dependency.
- The inspected configuration behavior installs package-owned Taskless skills through CLI setup; no concrete malicious attack was established.
