audit-deps

audit-deps is a command for coding agents from rohitg00/awesome-claude-code-toolkit. It costs 18 tokens per session (373 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that reviews project dependencies for security vulnerabilities, license restrictions, maintenance problems, size, and unused packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit npm, pnpm, Python, or Rust dependencies and produce prioritized actions for upgrades or replacements.
Why use it?
It gives developers a clearer view of risks hidden in the libraries their project relies on, including deprecated or poorly maintained packages.

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

audit-deps 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 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.

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

Audit all project dependencies for vulnerabilities, licensing issues, and maintenance status.

Steps

  1. Detect the package manager and run native audit:
    • npm: npm audit --json
    • pnpm: pnpm audit --json
    • pip: pip-audit --format json
    • cargo: cargo audit --json
  2. Check package maintenance status:
    • Last publish date for each dependency.
    • Open issue count and response time.
    • Whether the package is deprecated.
  3. Verify license compatibility:
    • List all dependency licenses.
    • Flag any copyleft licenses (GPL) in permissive projects.
    • Flag packages with no license specified.
  4. Analyze dependency tree depth and size impact.
  5. Identify unused dependencies by cross-referencing imports.
  6. Generate a prioritized action list.

Format

Dependency Audit - <date>

Vulnerabilities: <C>critical, <H>high, <M>moderate, <L>low
Licenses: <N> permissive, <N> copyleft, <N> unknown
Maintenance: <N> actively maintained, <N> stale, <N> deprecated
Unused: <list>

Priority actions:
  1. [CRITICAL] Upgrade <pkg> to fix CVE-XXXX
  2. [WARNING] Replace deprecated <pkg> with <alternative>

Rules

  • Always report the full vulnerability chain (which direct dep pulls in the vulnerable transitive dep).
  • Flag any dependency with no updates in the last 12 months.
  • Check that lock files are present and committed.
  • Never recommend removing a dependency without verifying it is truly 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.
