AI rationale
This release is not malicious by the inspected source, but it has an explicit user-command AI-agent configuration mutation capability. Policy requires this capability to be warned rather than blocked.
Evidence
package.jsonbin/cli.js.cursor/skills.claude/skills.agents/skills.opencode/skills.github/skills
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The explicit install-skills command copies bundled skill files into a selected AI-editor project directory.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- The agent-directory write requires the user to invoke momentic install-skills and choose an editor.
- Observed service endpoints are Momentic telemetry and API hosts; no fixed unofficial credential gateway was found.
- The package stores Momentic login data in its own .momentic directory with restrictive file permissions.
