@taskless/cli-nightly@0.12.0-20261001060230xcee92ae
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 establishes explicit-command agent configuration writes, which warrant a capability warning under the supplied policy. No npm installation hook or concrete malicious hijack was identified.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running taskless init or completing interactive CLI setup.
Impact
Project agents can load the installed Taskless instructions. Interactive selection authorizes setup, but the inspected code does not establish a background update mechanism.
Mechanism
Setup detects agent directories, writes Taskless skills and command stubs, and records installation state. Running init again applies the current CLI version's integration.
AI rationale
The source establishes explicit-command agent configuration writes, which warrant a capability warning under the supplied policy. No npm installation hook or concrete malicious hijack was identified.
Evidence
dist/index.js.taskless.agents.claude.cursor.opencode
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package defines build and development scripts without npm installation lifecycle hooks.
- The flagged agent integration selects project agent directories, including .agents.
- The integration creates directories and writes Taskless skill stubs.
- The explicit init command invokes the installation routine, which applies the current CLI's skills.
- Interactive setup asks which tools should receive Taskless integration.
Evidence against
- No concrete malicious installation chain was identified.
- The inspected agent writes are activated by CLI setup rather than an npm install hook.
