Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source shows an explicit agent-skill installer, not an npm lifecycle payload or covert data-exfiltration chain. Its broad default agent-directory write and mutable-tag option warrant a warning under the supplied policy. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T04:26:39.099Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T04:27:46.950Z - **Download time:** 2520 ms - **Static scan time:** 5501 ms - **AI review time:** 59828 ms - **Total time:** 67851 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The explicitly invoked installer can clone the package repository and copy selected skill content into user-selected or agent skill directories. No install-time automatic execution or exfiltration was confirmed. - **Trigger:** User runs the agentic-awesome-skills executable. - **Impact:** Installed skill content may affect later AI-agent behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, tools/bin/install.js, skills/huggingface-tool-builder/references/baseline\_hf\_api.tsx - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T04:27:46.950Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit CLI skill installation into agent directories - **Rationale:** Source shows an explicit agent-skill installer, not an npm lifecycle payload or covert data-exfiltration chain. Its broad default agent-directory write and mutable-tag option warrant a warning under the supplied policy. - **Files touched:** tools/bin/install.js, ~/.agents/skills, ~/.codex/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.gemini/skills - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills.git, https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** Explicit installer clones a remote skills repository and writes selected skills into agent directories., Default target is ~/.agents/skills; flags support ~/.codex/skills and other agent skill directories., A user can bypass pinned-release verification with the explicit --tag option. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Writes occur only when the user invokes the installer binary; no import-time execution was found., Release installs query npm metadata and compare the cloned Git HEAD before copying files., Credential/network hint is an opt-in example that sends HF\_TOKEN only to huggingface.co. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agentic-awesome-skills@15.16.0. - Review the evidence and your use of agentic-awesome-skills@15.16.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
