WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package does not use an npm install hook, but running the CLI can mutate first-party agent skill directories, including an authenticated download into Claude, OpenCode, and agents folders. That is guarded product setup rather than a covert install-time control-surface hijack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A user runs a wayai command, or specifically wayai admin skill install after login.
Impact
Local coding agents can load the WayAI skill, including content returned by the configured WayAI API. There is no install-time or hidden write.
Mechanism
The command entrypoint calls a heal routine that symlinks .claude/skills/wayai to .agents/skills/wayai when that skill is already present. The admin install command fetches skill files with the logged-in API client and writes them under harness skill directories that already exist, or under all three harness directories if none exist.
AI rationale
The package does not use an npm install hook, but running the CLI can mutate first-party agent skill directories, including an authenticated download into Claude, OpenCode, and agents folders. That is guarded product setup rather than a covert install-time control-surface hijack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json exposes the wayai bin and only build, dev, typecheck, and test scripts, with no install lifecycle hook.
- Any wayai command other than help or version can create .claude/skills/wayai as a directory symlink to an existing .agents/skills/wayai skill.
- The authenticated wayai admin skill install command writes API-returned skill files into .claude, .opencode, and .agents skill directories.
Evidence against
- Skill linking and install run only after a user invokes the CLI, not during npm install or import.
- The automatic link is created only when the WayAI skill already exists under .agents and is missing under .claude.
- Downloaded skill paths are rejected unless each segment is a short safe filename.
