## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 15 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.64.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package's prepare hook only runs Svelte synchronization. The inspected agent configuration behavior belongs to explicit CLI setup, and its installation prompt requires user confirmation; scanner hints alone do not establish an attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-08T13:54:09.849Z

- **Total time:** 38024 ms

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was identified. The agent skill setup is project-local and is reached through the CLI.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the skill command or chooses to install the skill during CLI setup.

- **Impact:** No confirmed malicious impact or credential exfiltration was established from the inspected paths.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T13:54:47.873Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI writes its bundled Postboi skill into project-local agent directories; the install prompt requires confirmation.

- **Rationale:** The package's prepare hook only runs Svelte synchronization. The inspected agent configuration behavior belongs to explicit CLI setup, and its installation prompt requires user confirmation; scanner hints alone do not establish an attack.

- **Files touched:** .claude/skills/postboi/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/postboi/SKILL.md, AGENTS.md

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json limits the prepare hook to Svelte synchronization., dist/cli.js stores Postboi skill paths under project-local .claude and .agents directories., The skill installation prompt requires confirmation, and the skill command is explicitly dispatched by the CLI.
