Install-time setup mutates detected Claude Code and Codex skill directories. Explicit initialization adds lifecycle hooks that capture agent-turn content and upload it to the package service. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-06T03:08:08.895Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-06T03:08:49.132Z - **Download time:** 252 ms - **Static scan time:** 5850 ms - **AI review time:** 34134 ms - **Total time:** 40237 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time setup mutates detected Claude Code and Codex skill directories. Explicit initialization adds lifecycle hooks that capture agent-turn content and upload it to the package service. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; later explicit greprag init and trusted agent-hook events - **Impact:** Adds persistent agent extension content; configured hooks can transmit redacted conversation and tool data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/commands/init.js, dist/hook.js, dist/hook-runtime.js, skill/greprag/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-06T03:08:49.132Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** first-party agent skill installation and opt-in transcript-memory synchronization - **Rationale:** This is an invasive first-party agent extension with install-time skill deployment and opt-in cloud memory capture, not confirmed malware. The postinstall mutation warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/skills/greprag, ~/.codex/skills/greprag, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.greprag/.env - **Network endpoints:** https://api.greprag.com, https://api.greprag.com/v1/memory/turn ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall., scripts/postinstall.js copies bundled greprag skill into detected ~/.claude/skills and ~/.codex/skills., dist/commands/init.js explicitly configures ~/.codex/hooks.json and Claude settings hooks., dist/hook.js reads agent transcripts and posts scrubbed turn data to api.greprag.com after hook setup. - **Evidence against:** postinstall installs only the package's own greprag skill; it does not add executable hooks., Hook configuration requires explicit greprag init and Codex trust review., Network use is package-aligned and authenticated with GREPRAG\_API\_KEY., dist/hook.js applies secret redaction before turn upload. ## Public findings ### 1.
