WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package performs a guarded AI-agent configuration mutation during normal CLI use, which warrants a capability warning. It has no install lifecycle hook and no concrete malicious behavior was established.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running a non-help WayAI CLI command in a project containing the expected agent skill.
Impact
Claude Code can load the existing WayAI agent skill through the new project-local link.
Mechanism
The CLI creates .claude/skills and symlinks its WayAI skill entry to .agents/skills/wayai.
AI rationale
The package performs a guarded AI-agent configuration mutation during normal CLI use, which warrants a capability warning. It has no install lifecycle hook and no concrete malicious behavior was established.
Evidence
dist/index.js.claude/skills/wayai
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- On ordinary non-help CLI commands, the bundle calls a skill-link repair routine.
- That routine creates a Claude skill directory and symlinks it to an existing WayAI agent skill.
Evidence against
- The link is conditional on an existing project-local .agents WayAI skill and does not download or execute a payload.
- No install-time lifecycle trigger was found.
