WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package does not mutate agent config during npm install, but running the CLI can link or install first-party skills into Claude, OpenCode, and .agents directories. That guarded agent-extension behavior is a warning, not a publish block, because it is user-invoked, same-vendor, and not a hidden lifecycle payload.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
User runs a non-help wayai command, or the authenticated admin skill-install command.
Impact
A local coding agent can load the WayAI skill after a normal CLI command. This is first-party setup, not an install-time hijack of unrelated agent config.
Mechanism
healClaudeSkillLink creates .claude/skills/wayai as a symlink to .agents/skills/wayai. Admin install writes the returned file map under .claude, .opencode, or .agents skills.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 74.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Any non-help wayai command can create .claude/skills and symlink wayai to the existing .agents/skills/wayai skill.
- The authenticated admin skill-install command writes the API file map into .claude, .opencode, and .agents skill directories.
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; the bin runs only when the user invokes wayai.
Evidence against
- Skill writes are behind an explicit admin command and authenticated API call, and unsafe relative paths are rejected.
- The Claude symlink is skipped for help and version, does nothing if the skill file is already present, and prints what it linked.
- Version refresh fetches skill text only to cache a version string and does not write agent files.
