It writes agent-mode prompt files and symlinks/copies packaged instructions without an explicit setup action. - **Trigger:** npm install, including dependency installation with lifecycle scripts enabled - **Impact:** Future Codex, Claude, Copilot, and VS Code agent sessions can load package-supplied instructions and execute their prescribed tool actions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, src/setup.js, src/targets.js, src/promptfile.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T01:59:32.112Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes postinstall, which calls setup() and writes or links three package-controlled skills into detected agent directories. These include the shared ~/.agents path unconditionally and Codex, Claude, and VS Code prompt locations when present; generated VS Code prompts use agent mode. This is unconsented install-time mutation of foreign, broad AI-agent control surfaces. - **Rationale:** The package contains no confirmed exfiltration chain, but its automatic lifecycle hook installs executable agent instructions across unrelated AI-agent platforms. That meets the firewall block boundary for unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign/broad AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, src/setup.js, src/targets.js, skills/handoff/SKILL.md, skills/recall/SKILL.md, skills/remember/SKILL.md, ~/.agents/skills/{handoff,recall,remember}, ~/.claude/skills/{handoff,recall,remember}, $CODEX\_HOME/skills/{handoff,recall,remember} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js on install., postinstall imports setup() without user confirmation., src/targets.js targets ~/.agents, ~/.claude, $CODEX\_HOME, and VS Code-family prompt directories., src/setup.js creates symlinks/copies and prompt files in those agent control surfaces., Prompt files are generated with mode: agent, enabling shipped instructions to run tools. - **Evidence against:** No network, credential-exfiltration, remote payload, eval, or shell-download path was found., Child-process use is limited to fixed git commands in the CLI., src/redact.js attempts to redact secrets before memory-note writes. ## Public findings ### 1.
