WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe harness directories are first-party skill locations used by an explicit authenticated install command and by a local symlink to a skill already on disk. package.json has no install hook, so this is user-invoked product behavior rather than an unconsented agent control-surface write.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The user runs the wayai CLI. Skill file writes require the admin skill-install command after login. The Claude symlink requires an existing local .agents skill.
Impact
The project may gain the user's WayAI skill under harness skill folders or a local symlink so Claude Code can load it. No install-time agent takeover, secret export, or remote payload execution was identified.
Mechanism
The CLI reads local harness skill paths, requests the operator skill from the configured WayAI API only for that install command, and otherwise links .claude/skills/wayai to the existing .agents skill.
AI rationale
The harness directories are first-party skill locations used by an explicit authenticated install command and by a local symlink to a skill already on disk. package.json has no install hook, so this is user-invoked product behavior rather than an unconsented agent control-surface write.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 84.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json exposes the wayai bin at dist/index.js and only build, dev, typecheck, and test scripts, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- HARNESS_SKILL_DIRS lists .claude, .opencode, and .agents as local skill locations. Writing skill files there happens only in the authenticated admin skill-install command, which fetches the skill from the user's configured WayAI API and writes it under existing harness directories.
- healClaudeSkillLink runs only after a user starts a non-help wayai command, and it creates a .claude/skills/wayai symlink only when .agents/skills/wayai/SKILL.md already exists.
Evidence against
- Any ordinary wayai command can create that Claude skill symlink without a separate confirmation prompt.
- Background refresh can fetch the public WayAI skill URL and the authenticated admin skill endpoint, but those paths cache a version string and do not execute the body.
