Common build scripts and files
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source supports a warning for automatic agent-instruction updates reached through the configured build command. It does not establish an install-hook attack, malicious payload, or credential transfer.
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, a consumer invokes the project build script and a newer remote instruction version is available.
Impact
The update can change instructions read by project agents; the inspected source does not establish what the remote instructions contain.
Mechanism
The build script calls syncAgentInstructions, which downloads an archive from htmlcodeplay.com and copies its files over the project’s agent instruction paths.
AI rationale
The source supports a warning for automatic agent-instruction updates reached through the configured build command. It does not establish an install-hook attack, malicious payload, or credential transfer.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest runs sync-files.js during postinstall, which adds this package’s build script to the consumer project.
- That build script invokes syncAgentInstructions, which fetches a version from htmlcodeplay.com and replaces the project’s AGENTS.md and AGENTS directory when an update is available.
Evidence against
- The agent-instruction update runs through the project build command, not directly from the npm install hook.
- The updater fetches package-aligned instructions and validates archive paths before staging files; the inspected source does not establish credential theft or code execution.
