Common build scripts and files
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package creates a real, automatic build-time agent-configuration capability by replacing project instructions from a remote archive. The source does not prove malicious content or a lifecycle-time agent configuration write, so this warrants a warning rather than a 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
After installation rewrites the build command, a consumer runs the project build and the remote instruction version is newer.
Impact
Downloaded instructions can influence project-level AI-agent behavior; malicious content or resulting harm was not established by the inspected source.
Mechanism
The build script downloads the newer archive and replaces AGENTS.md and files under AGENTS/ without a consent prompt.
AI rationale
The package creates a real, automatic build-time agent-configuration capability by replacing project instructions from a remote archive. The source does not prove malicious content or a lifecycle-time agent configuration write, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest runs sync-files.js during postinstall.
- The postinstall script replaces the consumer project’s build command with the package build script.
- That build script calls syncAgentInstructions automatically.
- When the remote version is newer, the script downloads instructions from htmlcodeplay.com and replaces project-root AGENTS.md and AGENTS/ files without a consent check.
- The integration targets project-level agent instruction files; no malicious instruction contents or credential transfer were established.
