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-aiThe source supports a warning for explicit-user-command agent configuration mutation, rather than a malware block. No automatic npm install hook or concrete malicious chain was identified.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running taskless init or completing interactive CLI setup.
Impact
Agent-visible Taskless instructions and commands can be installed, refreshed, or removed during setup. No npm install-time control hijack was identified.
Mechanism
The CLI detects or selects agent targets, writes package-owned integration files, and records installation state for subsequent setup runs.
AI rationale
The source supports a warning for explicit-user-command agent configuration mutation, rather than a malware block. No automatic npm install hook or concrete malicious chain was identified.
Evidence
dist/index.js.taskless.claude.agents.cursor.opencode
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 92.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest exposes dist/index.js as the taskless command.
- The CLI detects agent directories, including .claude, as installation targets.
- The explicit init command invokes skill installation without an interactive prompt.
- Installation writes SKILL.md stubs and command files into selected agent directories.
- Interactive setup asks which tools should receive Taskless integration.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no runtime self-dependency.
- The inspected integration installs package-owned Taskless content through explicit CLI setup.
- No concrete covert exfiltration or malicious payload execution was identified.
