## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing the npm package automatically alters the consumer project's Claude Code control surface. It also installs Python dependencies without a separate user command.

- **Trigger:** npm install process-ai

- **Impact:** Adds behavior-bearing slash-command prompts to a foreign AI-agent project and performs install-time dependency changes.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, dist/toolkit/adapters/claude-code/skill-copy.js, dist/toolkit/src/installer/orchestrator.js, dist/toolkit/src/installer/python-deps.js, dist/toolkit/src/installer/update-check.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T22:04:51.202Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** postinstall-driven Claude skill injection and pip provisioning

- **Attack narrative:** The package’s postinstall launches its CLI against INIT\_CWD, the consumer project. The installer copies package-controlled SKILL.md files into that project's .claude/skills directory, making them agent-invocable slash commands, and also invokes pip to install requirements. This is an unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, so it meets the firewall block boundary even though the copied paths are scoped and no credential theft was found.

- **Rationale:** Source confirms an npm postinstall automatically injects package-controlled Claude Code skills into the consumer project and runs pip provisioning. This is concrete unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface.

- **Files touched:** .claude/skills/process-ai\*/SKILL.md, .process-ai/config, .process-ai/install-manifest.toml, method-packs/, scripts/requirements-ingest.txt

- **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/process-ai/latest

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** npm postinstall invokes the installer in the consumer project., Installer writes package-provided Claude Code skills into .claude/skills., Install also runs pip install for bundled requirements., CLI update check contacts the npm registry during execution.

- **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or data exfiltration found., Skill copying is limited to process-ai-prefixed paths and includes symlink checks.
