WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a bounded first-party agent-extension lifecycle behavior activated by explicit CLI use, not concrete malicious behavior. The package has no install hook, and its update fetch only reads version metadata.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs a non-help wayai command from a project containing .agents/skills/wayai/SKILL.md.
Impact
The project gains a Claude Code entry point to an existing WayAI skill; later agent use may load that skill.
Mechanism
Creates a bounded Claude Code symlink and performs background update and telemetry requests.
AI rationale
This is a bounded first-party agent-extension lifecycle behavior activated by explicit CLI use, not concrete malicious behavior. The package has no install hook, and its update fetch only reads version metadata.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 89.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Any non-help CLI command checks the project and can invoke the skill-link repair.
- The repair creates .claude/skills/wayai as a symlink to an existing .agents/skills/wayai skill.
- Foreground commands also schedule version checks that query npm and a WayAI GitHub skill URL.
- Telemetry is enabled for installed packages and sends masked error data to Sentry.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- The link is limited to the package-owned WayAI skill, requires that source skill to exist, and does not overwrite a real directory.
- The fetched skill content is only parsed for a version during update checking; this code does not execute it.
