Common build scripts and files
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source shows install-time project setup that enables a later build to replace project agent instructions with remotely supplied files. Because the replacement is deferred to the build and no malicious content or broader control hijack is established by inspected source, this warrants a warning rather than a publish block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Installing the package changes the project build command; a later build runs the updater when it detects a newer remote agent-instructions version.
Impact
Project agent instructions may be replaced by remotely supplied files during a build.
Mechanism
The updater downloads a versioned archive from htmlcodeplay.com and replaces AGENTS.md and the AGENTS directory in the project root.
AI rationale
The source shows install-time project setup that enables a later build to replace project agent instructions with remotely supplied files.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The postinstall hook runs the project-mutating sync script.
- That script copies package assets into the consuming project and replaces its build command with one that runs the package build script.
- The build script downloads versioned agent-instruction archives from htmlcodeplay.com.
- The updater replaces the project-root AGENTS.md and AGENTS directory when it installs an update.
- The updater runs during the build script, so the agent-file replacement is deferred until a build.
Evidence against
- The agent-instruction updater is not called directly by the install hook; it runs from the package build script.
