WayAI CLI — sync hub configuration between local files and the platform
AI Security Review
scanned 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe CLI automatically adds a package-owned WayAI skill link to Claude’s project skill directory when its source skill exists. This guarded agent setup warrants a warning, but the manifest shows no install lifecycle trigger or evidence of broader control-surface mutation.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Running a non-help CLI command in a project where the WayAI skill already exists under `.agents/skills/wayai`.
Impact
This automatically exposes the package-owned WayAI skill to Claude Code by changing project files. No broader agent configuration change or separate malicious behavior was established.
Mechanism
The launcher checks for that skill and, if the corresponding Claude skill file is absent, creates `.claude/skills/wayai` as a symlink to it. It may remove an existing symlink at the target path first.
AI rationale
The CLI automatically adds a package-owned WayAI skill link to Claude’s project skill directory when its source skill exists. This guarded agent setup warrants a warning, but the manifest shows no install lifecycle trigger or evidence of broader control-surface mutation.
Evidence
dist/index.js.agents/skills/wayai/SKILL.md.claude/skills/wayai
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- A normal non-help CLI command invokes the skill-link check.
- When a WayAI skill exists under `.agents/skills/wayai` and no Claude skill file exists, the CLI creates `.claude/skills` and links the WayAI skill there.
- The link helper removes an existing symlink at that path before creating the replacement.
Evidence against
- The manifest defines no install lifecycle hook; the behavior is reached through the CLI entrypoint.
