AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection confirms an automatic remote skills-installer invocation during normal CLI project creation, but not malicious install-time behavior, credential theft, stealth persistence, or foreign broad agent-control mutation.

Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
User runs the create-app CLI without skipping dependency installation.
Impact
Adds externally sourced agent skills to the new project without a separate confirmation.
Mechanism
Automatically invokes a remote npx skills installer in the generated project.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
