WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe automatic project agent-skill link is a concrete guarded agent configuration mutation, so a warning is appropriate. The absence of lifecycle hooks and confirmed harmful behavior does not support blocking the package.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running an eligible WayAI CLI command in a project with the existing agent skill.
Impact
This is a guarded agent-integration capability that can change which skill Claude Code loads, but no unconsented install-time mutation or exfiltration was established.
Mechanism
The CLI creates a Claude Code skill link pointing to the existing WayAI agent skill; the separate administrator installer retrieves authenticated skill files for project harness directories.
AI rationale
The automatic project agent-skill link is a concrete guarded agent configuration mutation, so a warning is appropriate. The absence of lifecycle hooks and confirmed harmful behavior does not support blocking the package.
Evidence
dist/index.js.agents/skills/wayai.claude/skills/wayai
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exposes a CLI entry point and has no npm lifecycle hook in its manifest.
- On ordinary CLI commands, it can link an existing project WayAI skill from an agent directory into Claude Code’s skills directory.
- The administrator skill installer requires authentication before obtaining files and writing them to harness skill directories.
Evidence against
- No installation lifecycle hook, credential export, destructive action, or hidden payload execution was established in the inspected paths.
