WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 27d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no npm install hook, but ordinary CLI invocation can mutate a project’s Claude skill configuration by creating a symlink. This guarded agent integration warrants a warning; the reviewed source does not show an attack or justify blocking publication.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Run a non-help `wayai` command in a project that contains `.agents/skills/wayai/SKILL.md`.
Impact
Claude Code can load the existing WayAI skill through the new link; no credential exposure or remote payload execution was established.
Mechanism
The CLI creates `.claude/skills` if needed and links `.claude/skills/wayai` to the existing `.agents/skills/wayai` directory.
AI rationale
The package has no npm install hook, but ordinary CLI invocation can mutate a project’s Claude skill configuration by creating a symlink. This guarded agent integration warrants a warning; the reviewed source does not show an attack or justify blocking publication.
Evidence
dist/index.js.claude/skills.claude/skills/wayai
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json defines build, development, typecheck, and test scripts, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- dist/index.js detects an existing WayAI skill at `.agents/skills/wayai/SKILL.md` and targets the corresponding `.claude/skills/wayai` location.
- For a non-help CLI command, dist/index.js calls the skill-link repair function, which can create a `.claude/skills` directory and a symlink to the existing WayAI skill.
Evidence against
- The symlink operation is limited to the WayAI skill path and requires the source skill to exist; an existing real Claude skill file is left alone.
- The inspected update command checks the package-aligned `@wayai/cli` registry version and updates only when the user runs `wayai update`.
