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. There is no npm install-time hook, and the scanner exfil and blob hits are user-run skill helpers or assets. The remaining risk is first-party, user-command setup that can write skills or an AAS MCP server into local AI-agent directories. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-18T09:21:10.257Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-18T09:29:19.673Z - **Download time:** 8152 ms - **Static scan time:** 5935 ms - **AI review time:** 475326 ms - **Total time:** 489416 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:** Nothing runs on npm install. If a user later runs the published installer or mcp configure command, this package can copy skills into local AI-agent skill directories or add an AAS MCP server to Claude or Codex config. - **Trigger:** The user runs npx agentic-awesome-skills with agent flags, or aas mcp configure with --approve. - **Impact:** The machine that ran the command can gain a large agent skill catalog or an AAS MCP server entry in Claude or Codex configuration. - **Evidence paths:** tools/bin/install.js, tools/lib/aas-v1/adapters/claude.js, tools/lib/aas-v1/cli/main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-18T09:29:19.673Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-command copy of skill trees and optional approved MCP host-config patch - **Rationale:** There is no npm install-time hook, and the scanner exfil and blob hits are user-run skill helpers or assets. The remaining risk is first-party, user-command setup that can write skills or an AAS MCP server into local AI-agent directories. - **Files touched:** ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.codex/skills, ~/.kiro/skills, ~/.agents/skills - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills.git, https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The published installer copies cloned skills into Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, Kiro, or Antigravity skill directories when those flags are used., If no agent flag is given, the installer selects ~/.agents/skills as the destination., The AAS mcp configure command can insert an aas MCP server into Claude host configuration after a matching approval digest. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts., Antigravity installs without an explicit skill selection or --all stop before cloning or writing files., MCP host-config writes require --approve with a matching digest., Apify and Hugging Face helpers send the user's vendor token only to those vendors' APIs when the user runs the skill scripts., Scanner hits on a theme PDF, a shadcn archive, and a dry-run test script are skill assets, not install-time payloads. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agentic-awesome-skills@16.2.0. - Review the evidence and your use of agentic-awesome-skills@16.2.0 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.
