It registers a package-provided MCP server without an explicit setup command. - **Trigger:** npm install runs the postinstall lifecycle hook in a repository-like consumer directory. - **Impact:** A newly configured AI-agent server and package-provided instructions can influence agent behavior in the consumer workspace; generated artifacts are also added to .gitignore. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T19:01:31.923Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic scaffold and MCP configuration injection into the consumer project. - **Attack narrative:** A normal npm installation launches scripts/postinstall.js. Outside development, CI, and production checks, it detects repository markers and writes into the consumer project. The hook installs MCP configuration that launches this package’s Node entry point, copies AI-agent instruction and skill files into .github, creates context files, and adds these artifacts to .gitignore. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, not an explicit user-invoked setup action. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall hook broadly modifies the consumer repository’s AI-agent control surface and configures a package-owned MCP command. This meets the policy for malicious install-hook abuse despite no confirmed network exfiltration. - **Files touched:** .vscode/mcp.json, .github/AGENTS.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .github/skills/, .gitignore, context/, .ai-context/knowledge-pack-state/setup-manifest.json, .ai-context/setup-telemetry.jsonl ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The package automatically runs scripts/postinstall.js after npm installation., The hook targets the consumer’s initial working directory and writes AI-context state there., It creates or merges .vscode/mcp.json, registering a Node MCP server from this package., It copies agent instructions and skills into the consumer repository’s .github directory., It expands .gitignore to hide generated agent, context, and MCP configuration artifacts., The hook runs automatically for repository-like directories and invokes further package commands when a feature flag is set. - **Evidence against:** The inspected postinstall code contains no direct outbound network request or credential exfiltration., The highlighted provider and .NET analysis modules are local tooling; their command execution is runtime/user-environment controlled, not part of the install hook. ## Public findings ### 1.
