Running \`tsci init\` can fetch and install a first-party TSCircuit AI skill into project-local Claude and agent skill directories. No install-time package lifecycle execution is present. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T18:45:25.077Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T18:46:36.006Z - **Download time:** 1018 ms - **Static scan time:** 1614 ms - **AI review time:** 68296 ms - **Total time:** 70929 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Running \`tsci init\` can fetch and install a first-party TSCircuit AI skill into project-local Claude and agent skill directories. No install-time package lifecycle execution is present. - **Trigger:** User runs \`tsci init\`; \`tsci init --yes\` skips the skill confirmation prompt. - **Impact:** Downloaded instructions become available to compatible AI-agent tooling in that 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:** 2026-08-15T18:46:36.006Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote first-party AI skill download and project-local agent-skill writes. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a first-party agent-extension installer under \`tsci init\`, including noninteractive acceptance with \`--yes\`. There is no unconsented npm install hook or concrete exfiltration/destructive chain. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/tscircuit, .agents/skills/tscircuit - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/tscircuit/skill/contents ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** \`tsci init\` installs a TSCircuit skill into \`.claude/skills/tscircuit\` and \`.agents/skills/tscircuit\`., The installer downloads remote GitHub content and writes it into those agent skill directories., Interactive init asks for confirmation, but \`--yes\` bypasses that prompt and invokes skill setup. - **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook is declared., The CLI entrypoint only selects Bun/tsx and launches the packaged CLI., Agent-skill setup is tied to an explicit user \`init\` command and uses first-party TSCircuit paths. ## Public findings ### 1.
