The explicit \`tsci init\` command can download a tscircuit skill repository into project-local Claude and Agents skill directories. This is a first-party agent-extension setup, not install-time execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-14T01:04:54.550Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-14T01:05:54.120Z - **Download time:** 1010 ms - **Static scan time:** 1685 ms - **AI review time:** 56874 ms - **Total time:** 59570 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The explicit \`tsci init\` command can download a tscircuit skill repository into project-local Claude and Agents skill directories. This is a first-party agent-extension setup, not install-time execution. - **Trigger:** User runs \`tsci init\` (including noninteractive \`--yes\`). - **Impact:** Adds remotely sourced skill files to \`.claude/skills/tscircuit\` and \`.agents/skills/tscircuit\` in the initialized project. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli/entrypoint.js, dist/cli/main.js, dist/cli/build/build.worker.js, dist/cli/snapshot/snapshot.worker.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T01:05:54.120Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote skill download and project-local AI-agent extension writes. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious under the blocking threshold because the control-surface write occurs only through an explicit CLI initialization command. It warrants a warning because it installs remotely fetched content into AI-agent skill directories, including in \`--yes\` mode. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/tscircuit, .agents/skills/tscircuit - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/tscircuit/skill/contents ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** \`tsci init\` defines AI-skill targets under \`.claude\` and \`.agents\`., The init workflow downloads remote GitHub content and writes it into those targets., Interactive init prompts before skill setup, but \`--yes\` skips prompts and still invokes setup. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The agent-directory mutation is limited to the explicit \`init\` command and project directory., No credential exfiltration, destructive action, or stealth persistence was confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
