Install-time setup mutates AI-agent skill directories by linking this package's skills. No credential collection, network exfiltration, or remote payload execution was found in the executable source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-16T19:40:53.323Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-16T19:41:45.003Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 40 ms - **AI review time:** 51130 ms - **Total time:** 51680 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time setup mutates AI-agent skill directories by linking this package's skills. No credential collection, network exfiltration, or remote payload execution was found in the executable source. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes \`postinstall\`. - **Impact:** Installs package-controlled skill content into configured agent skill roots and may replace colliding skill directories. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/skills-link, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-16T19:41:45.003Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global first-party agent-skill symlink setup - **Rationale:** The automatic global agent-skill installation warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy, but source inspection found no malicious execution, exfiltration, stealth persistence, or remote payload chain. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/skills-link, $HOME/.agents/skills, $HOME/.config/opencode/skills, $HOME/.claude/skills, $HOME/.codex/skills, $HOME/.cursor/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** \`package.json\` runs \`postinstall\` automatically., \`bin/skills-link\` targets five AI-agent skill roots., Lifecycle creates skill directories and symlinks package skills., Lifecycle can replace same-named skill directories containing \`SKILL.md\`. - **Evidence against:** Only executable is \`bin/skills-link\`; no JS/native payloads found., \`bin/skills-link\` contains no network, credential harvesting, eval, or subprocess execution., \`README.md\` documents the automatic global skill-link behavior., \`skills/\*\*/SKILL.md\` are operational documentation, not install-time executable code. ## Public findings ### 1.
