Install-time setup mutates broad AI-agent skill directories by linking this package's local skills. No network or credential-exfiltration behavior was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-19T17:53:42.694Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-19T17:54:09.821Z - **Download time:** 253 ms - **Static scan time:** 26 ms - **AI review time:** 26847 ms - **Total time:** 27127 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time setup mutates broad AI-agent skill directories by linking this package's local skills. No network or credential-exfiltration behavior was found. - **Trigger:** npm install executes postinstall when the --check verification detects missing links. - **Impact:** Adds package-supplied skills to OpenCode, Claude, Codex, and Cursor discovery paths; replaces only matching symlinks or directories containing SKILL.md. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/skills-link, README.md, skills/stakater-reloader/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-19T17:54:09.821Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global symlink installation and cleanup of package-owned skill entries - **Rationale:** The install hook automatically modifies multiple AI-agent control surfaces, warranting a warning under the lifecycle policy. Inspection found no remote payload, secret harvesting, exfiltration, or deceptive prompt manipulation. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/skills-link, skills/\*, $HOME/.agents/skills, $HOME/.config/opencode/skills, $HOME/.claude/skills, $HOME/.codex/skills, $HOME/.cursor/skills ### 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 bin/skills-link as postinstall., postinstall falls back from --check to --global, causing writes during npm install., bin/skills-link creates symlinks in five AI-agent skill directories., bin/skills-link removes stale symlinks and prior skill-directory copies. - **Evidence against:** Only executable is bin/skills-link; no downloader, network client, eval, or payload loader., Linked content is this package's local skills directory., Skill files contained no prompt-injection or credential-exfiltration instructions in inspected patterns. ## Public findings ### 1.
