No install-time malicious behavior was confirmed. An explicit CLI skill-install/setup path can symlink package-owned skills into existing local AI-agent skill roots. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T12:36:51.755Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T12:38:14.120Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 5798 ms - **AI review time:** 76046 ms - **Total time:** 82365 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No install-time malicious behavior was confirmed. An explicit CLI skill-install/setup path can symlink package-owned skills into existing local AI-agent skill roots. - **Trigger:** User runs scip-query setup or install-skills. - **Impact:** Can alter local agent skill discovery after user invocation; no exfiltration, remote payload execution, or broad automatic mutation was found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/cli-main.js, dist/command-descriptors-QH3G2OVD.js, dist/chunk-BZYSGZRK.js, dist/chunk-F4FNK44D.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T12:38:14.120Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit symlink installation of package-owned agent skills. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by the inspected source, but its explicit setup command modifies AI-agent skill roots. Per policy this is a warn-level first-party extension lifecycle risk. - **Files touched:** dist/postinstall.js, dist/command-descriptors-QH3G2OVD.js, skills/, .claude/skills, .codex/skills, .agents/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Explicit skill-install/setup code links package skills into existing Codex, Claude, and Agents skill roots., The package ships an npm postinstall hook, though its inspected body only logs a notice. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall executes only a console message; imported chunks define helpers but invoke no install action., Agent-root mutation is tied to explicit CLI setup/install-skills functionality, not npm installation., The observed registry request is a package update check, not credential or data exfiltration., Child-process calls support user-invoked local indexer/query tooling. ## Public findings ### 1.
