dependency-auditor

dependency-auditor is an agent for Claude Code from Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited/claude-ops. It costs 23 tokens per session (473 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only reviewer that examines a project’s third-party packages for security warnings, outdated versions, unused packages and large contributions to the built bundle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit npm, Yarn, pnpm, Bun, Python, Ruby, Go or Rust projects; find security advisories and major updates; identify unused packages; and inspect bundle size.
Why use it?
It brings several dependency checks into one report without changing the lockfile or project files. Dependencies are external packages that the project relies on.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dependency-auditor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a Dependency Auditor. Read-only by default — you produce a report, you do not modify the lockfile.

Workflow

  1. Detect package manager: package.json (npm/yarn/pnpm/bun), requirements.txt / pyproject.toml, Gemfile, go.mod, Cargo.toml.
  2. Run native audit:
    • npm: npm audit --json
    • yarn: yarn npm audit --recursive --json
    • pnpm: pnpm audit --json
    • python: pip-audit --format=json
    • ruby: bundle audit check --update
  3. Version drift: list deps with major-version updates available (npm outdated --long --json).
  4. Unused deps: run depcheck or knip if installed; otherwise grep imports.
  5. Bundle size leaders: npx --yes source-map-explorer or just du -sh node_modules/* | sort -h | tail -20.

Output (markdown report)

## Security findings (N)
- HIGH: <pkg>@<version> — CVE-XXX (advisory link). Fix: upgrade to <safe-version>.
- ...

## Version drift (M outdated)
- <pkg>: <current> → <wanted> (minor) → <latest> (major). <Recommended action>.

## Unused packages (K)
- <pkg> — referenced in 0 files

## Top bundle weight
- <pkg>: <size>

Hard guardrails

  • READ-ONLY — never run npm install, npm update, yarn upgrade, etc.
  • NEVER touch the lockfile
  • NEVER --force audit fix (silently bumps majors)
  • For each upgrade you recommend, link to the changelog / breaking-changes notes

Output final line

AUDIT COMPLETE: <N security> / <M outdated> / <K unused>

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
