It force-overwrites the destination and activates after the runtime restarts. - **Trigger:** npm installation; global installs target home runtimes, while project installs target existing project agent directories. - **Impact:** Mutates broad foreign agent control surfaces and can change agent behavior without an explicit user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, skills/wiki-manager/SKILL.md, skills/wiki-manager/scripts/check\_evidence.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T00:33:42.370Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented install-time AI-agent skill deployment - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs scripts/install.js automatically. The script detects multiple third-party agent runtimes and copies the bundled wiki-manager skill into each detected global or project runtime directory; copying is recursive and forced. This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces, even though the inspected payload contains no network or credential-exfiltration behavior. - **Rationale:** The package’s postinstall deploys and force-overwrites behavior-bearing skills across unrelated agent runtimes without an explicit user command. This meets the install-control-surface block condition. - **Files touched:** scripts/install.js, skills/wiki-manager, ~/.claude/skills/wiki-manager, ~/.config/opencode/skills/wiki-manager, ~/.agents/skills/wiki-manager, ~/.cursor/skills/wiki-manager, ~/.gemini/skills/wiki-manager, ~/.commandcode/skills/wiki-manager, ~/.windsurf/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:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall executes scripts/install.js., Install script targets seven foreign AI-agent runtime directories., Lifecycle copy force-overwrites wiki-manager into detected runtime skill directories., Default project-install path writes into existing project agent directories without an explicit CLI command. - **Evidence against:** No network, credential harvesting, or exfiltration code found in inspected sources., The shipped Python verifier only performs local file and git-diff checks. ## Public findings ### 1.
