WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe confirmed risk is a narrow automatic mutation of an AI-agent skill directory during CLI use. There is no install-time trigger or concrete evidence of credential theft, destructive behavior, or remote payload execution.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Run a non-help WayAI command in a project containing .agents/skills/wayai/SKILL.md while .claude/skills/wayai/SKILL.md is absent.
Impact
It changes how Claude Code discovers the existing WayAI skill in that project.
Mechanism
Creates a project-local symlink from the Claude skill directory to the WayAI agent skill.
AI rationale
The confirmed risk is a narrow automatic mutation of an AI-agent skill directory during CLI use. There is no install-time trigger or concrete evidence of credential theft, destructive behavior, or remote payload execution.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- On ordinary non-help CLI commands, the package creates a Claude skill symlink when a WayAI skill already exists under the project's agent directory.
- The symlink repair removes an existing symlink at that target before recreating it.
- Interactive commands can start a detached update-check child process that queries npm and a WayAI skill URL.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- The agent-directory change is limited to the package-owned WayAI skill and requires an existing source skill.
- No source evidence showed secret harvesting, arbitrary remote code execution, or broad agent configuration changes.
