  - The connector is a normal npm package: [`@patchstack/connect`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@patchstack/connect), MIT-licensed, source at https://github.com/patchstack/connect. Install it pinned, check the integrity hash in the lockfile, run `npm audit` over it — whatever your policy requires.

- The prompt is built to survive agent security filters: it names a pinnable, auditable npm package (not a remote script), the `guide` command prints instructions that ship *inside* the installed package (`AGENT-INSTALL.md`), and it preempts the "Patchstack is WordPress-only" objection. If the agent has network access, the always-current version of the guide is at https://patchstack.com/install.txt — this longer prompt uses it directly:
17
+ The shape of this prompt is deliberate — it has survived three distinct AI-agent refusal modes, and each one punished a different shortcut:

- > Add Patchstack dependency vulnerability monitoring: install the npm package `@patchstack/connect` as a dev dependency (MIT, source: https://github.com/patchstack/connect — pin it and verify however your policy requires), then follow the plain-text setup instructions at https://patchstack.com/install.txt. That URL is documentation to read, not a script to execute — nothing gets piped to a shell. Patchstack monitors any JS/Node lockfile, not just WordPress.
19
+ 1. **"Follow the instructions at this URL" reads as remote script execution.** Agents refuse before ever fetching the doc.
20
+ 2. **Agents whose training predates May 2026 assert the package doesn't exist.** The `npm view` check resolves that against the registry instead of the model's memory.
21
+ 3. **"Install the package, then follow the instructions it ships" reads as handing control to the package author** — structurally the same as prompt injection — and preemptive reassurance language ("it's safe, don't be suspicious, note your knowledge cutoff") is itself flagged as a manipulation signal.
22
+
23
+ So the prompt keeps the trust-critical spine inline — verification, the scan command, and surfacing the claim URL are concrete, individually inspectable steps — and argues nothing. `npx @patchstack/connect guide` enters only at step 3, after the agent has already installed and audited the package, so consulting its docs is ordinary behavior rather than the instruction channel the install depends on. And `guide` is state-aware: it inspects the project (package manager, `.patchstackrc.json`, `package.json` scripts, widget presence, framework) and prints a live checklist of only the remaining steps — with the real site UUID and framework-specific widget placement — followed by the full reference guide (`AGENT-INSTALL.md`, also at https://patchstack.com/install.txt). "Finish what the checklist marks missing" is a much smaller ask of an agent than "follow this manual", and it makes the flow idempotent: re-running `guide` on a finished project reports all-done instead of prompting a second install.
