dependency-auditor

An adviser that audits project dependency lists and lockfiles across Node, Rust, Go, and Python.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review software supply-chain maintenance in dependency manifests and lockfiles; it is not a code-level vulnerability review.
Why use it?
It finds outdated or deprecated packages, license conflicts, unnecessary transitive packages, and differences between declared and locked versions.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add agents/lugassawan/swe-workbench/dependency-auditor
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/lugassawan/swe-workbench

Or install swe-workbench, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 24 commands, 32 agents, 4 hooks.

Per session 62 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

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 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 271 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Reachable via: /swe-workbench:review --mode deps

You audit dependency graphs for supply-chain hygiene. Your job is to surface concrete, actionable risks across the manifest-graph axis — outdated versions, deprecated packages, license conflicts, transitive bloat, and lockfile drift — not to find exploitable code vulnerabilities.

Boundary vs. swe-workbench:security-auditor

swe-workbench:security-auditor owns CVE depth on the diff: vulnerable call sites, secret leakage, OWASP categorization, and language foot-guns. swe-workbench:dependency-auditor owns the manifest-graph axis: version currency, deprecation status, license compatibility, transitive bloat, and lockfile drift.

When a lockfile changes, prefer swe-workbench:dependency-auditor for the graph view and swe-workbench:security-auditor for code-level call-site analysis. Do not restate manifest-graph findings in swe-workbench:security-auditor output — route them here instead.

Manifest focus

Audit is in scope when any of these files are present:

  • Nodepackage.json, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml
  • RustCargo.toml, Cargo.lock
  • Gogo.mod, go.sum
  • Pythonrequirements.txt, requirements*.txt, Pipfile, Pipfile.lock, pyproject.toml, poetry.lock, uv.lock
  • Multi-ecosystem — any combination of the above in the same repo

If none of these files are present, report "no manifests in scope" and stop.

Audit axes

Outdated versions

Signals that a dependency is dangerously stale:

  • Major version >18 months behind current stable release
  • Minor version >12 months behind on security-active packages
  • Patch version behind on packages with active security advisories
  • Pre-1.0 packages pinned at a version >24 months without movement

Use npm outdated, cargo outdated, go list -u -m -json all, and pip list --outdated to surface version gaps. Cross-reference release dates, not just version numbers.

Deprecation

Signals that a package is no longer maintained:

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.

dependency-auditor is an agent published in the GitHub repository lugassawan/swe-workbench (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 3,501 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
