An explicit \`tsci init\` can fetch and write tscircuit skill content into project AI-agent skill directories. With \`--yes\`, the setup prompt is skipped. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T19:34:27.870Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T19:35:30.260Z - **Download time:** 1262 ms - **Static scan time:** 1682 ms - **AI review time:** 59445 ms - **Total time:** 62390 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An explicit \`tsci init\` can fetch and write tscircuit skill content into project AI-agent skill directories. With \`--yes\`, the setup prompt is skipped. - **Trigger:** User runs \`tsci init\`, especially \`tsci init --yes\`. - **Impact:** Project-scoped AI-agent instructions/capabilities can be introduced from remote content. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli/main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T19:35:30.260Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote GitHub skill download into \`.claude\` and \`.agents\` project paths. - **Rationale:** No malicious install-time behavior or data-exfiltration chain was confirmed. The explicit but remotely sourced AI-agent skill installation warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/tscircuit, .agents/skills/tscircuit - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/tscircuit/skill/contents ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** \`tsci init\` installs a remote skill repository into \`.claude/skills/tscircuit\` and \`.agents/skills/tscircuit\`., \`--yes\` passes a skip-prompt flag to that setup, allowing the agent-surface write without confirmation. - **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The agent-skill setup is tied to the explicit \`tsci init\` command and targets this vendor's named skill paths., No credential exfiltration, destructive behavior, or covert persistence was confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
