The installed skill can subsequently influence both agent environments. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs postinstall automatically. - **Impact:** Existing global agent skill content can be overwritten or deleted, and a package-controlled instruction set becomes available to both agents. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-skills.mjs, bridge/claude-agent-sdk-bridge.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T19:56:19.677Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic copy and prune of global AI-agent skill directories. - **Attack narrative:** The package runs an installer during npm postinstall, without an explicit user setup command. That installer copies its bundled luna-loop skill into global Codex and Claude skill locations, then recursively deletes files in those destinations that are not in the package source. This is a foreign, broad AI-agent control-surface mutation. Its runtime bridge also attempts to use Claude bypass-permissions mode after enabling the SDK capability needed for that transition. - **Rationale:** This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of global AI-agent control surfaces, including destructive pruning of prior content. The behavior meets the install-hook abuse blocking boundary even though no direct exfiltration endpoint was found. - **Files touched:** skills/luna-loop/, $CODEX\_HOME/skills/luna-loop, $CLAUDE\_CONFIG\_DIR/skills/luna-loop, bridge/claude-agent-sdk-bridge.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The npm postinstall hook automatically runs the skill installer., The installer copies a package-supplied skill into both global Codex and Claude skill directories without a user command., It recursively removes destination entries absent from the package source, modifying existing global agent configuration., The shipped bridge prefers Claude bypass-permissions mode and enables the SDK capability for skipping permission prompts. - **Evidence against:** The inspected installer contains no network request or credential-exfiltration logic., The bridge removes Anthropic credential variables from the environment passed to its SDK child process. ## Public findings ### 1.
