WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install hooks or confirmed exfiltration/payload chain, but its ordinary-command path mutates a Claude Code skill surface. Under the stated policy, this same-vendor agent-skill migration warrants a warning rather than a block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
User runs a non-help `wayai` command inside a repository containing `.agents/skills/wayai/SKILL.md`.
Impact
Claude Code may load the already-present WayAI skill through its project skill directory.
Mechanism
Creates `.claude/skills/wayai` symlink to an existing `.agents` WayAI skill; performs background version checks.
AI rationale
The package has no install hooks or confirmed exfiltration/payload chain, but its ordinary-command path mutates a Claude Code skill surface. Under the stated policy, this same-vendor agent-skill migration warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Running most CLI commands automatically links an existing WayAI skill into Claude Code's skills directory.
- The link repair creates `.claude/skills/wayai` and can remove a dangling symlink first.
- The CLI performs background version/skill update checks, including a configurable remote skill URL.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- The agent-surface mutation is limited to a WayAI-named link and only occurs when `.agents/skills/wayai/SKILL.md` already exists.
- The runtime package install is confined to the explicit `wayai update` command.
- Telemetry code masks secret-shaped error data before sending it.
