WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a first-party, project-local AI-agent compatibility mutation invoked at runtime, not an install hook or a confirmed payload chain. The automatic control-surface write warrants a warning, but the inspected source does not establish malicious intent or concrete compromise behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The user runs a non-help wayai command from a project containing .agents/skills/wayai/SKILL.md.
Impact
It changes a narrow AI-agent skill path without an explicit setup command; no exfiltration, remote code loading, or broad control-surface mutation was confirmed.
Mechanism
Creates a project-local compatibility symlink and performs background version checks.
AI rationale
This is a first-party, project-local AI-agent compatibility mutation invoked at runtime, not an install hook or a confirmed payload chain. The automatic control-surface write warrants a warning, but the inspected source does not establish malicious intent or concrete compromise behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Running most CLI commands can create a WayAI skill symlink in the current project’s Claude skill directory.
- The CLI starts a detached background refresh that contacts npm and checks a WayAI skill version.
- The package enables Sentry telemetry for installed copies unless disabled.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The symlink is limited to a WayAI-named path and only when an existing project WayAI skill is present.
- The update installer is reached only through the explicit update command.
