On npm install, the package installs its bundled wiki-manager skill into detected agent runtime directories. This is first-party agent-extension setup but occurs automatically during postinstall. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-17T01:05:02.062Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-17T01:05:55.694Z - **Download time:** 252 ms - **Static scan time:** 60 ms - **AI review time:** 53319 ms - **Total time:** 53632 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On npm install, the package installs its bundled wiki-manager skill into detected agent runtime directories. This is first-party agent-extension setup but occurs automatically during postinstall. - **Trigger:** npm install (global or project) - **Impact:** Changes behavior-bearing AI-agent extension directories; no exfiltration or remote payload path was found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, bin/cli.js, skills/wiki-manager/scripts/check\_evidence.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T01:05:55.694Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall copies a bundled skill into agent skill directories - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall mutation of multiple agent skill surfaces is concrete, but it installs the package's own visible skill and no malicious chain was found. Source inspection supports a lifecycle-risk warning, not malware classification. - **Files touched:** skills/wiki-manager, .claude/skills/wiki-manager, .opencode/skills/wiki-manager, .agents/skills/wiki-manager, .cursor/skills/wiki-manager, .gemini/skills/wiki-manager, .commandcode/skills/wiki-manager, .windsurf/skills/wiki-manager ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** npm postinstall automatically launches the installer., Installer copies its skill into detected global and project AI-agent skill directories., Copy operation overwrites an existing wiki-manager skill directory. - **Evidence against:** No network, credential harvesting, or exfiltration code found., Bundled Python checker is report-only and source is present., Destructive removal is limited to an explicit CLI clean command. ## Public findings ### 1.
