dependency-audit

A software supply-chain security audit that checks the third-party packages a project depends on. It coordinates command-line scanners and combines vulnerability, licence, and risk findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with files such as package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, or Cargo.toml to scan dependencies, assess security risks, and review licence compliance.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork about outdated or unsafe dependencies with results from vulnerability databases and project manifests.

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-audit 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 3d 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.

/dependency-audit Workflow

Output Rules

  • Always print full absolute paths for all artifact references (plan files, review files, audit logs). This makes paths clickable in terminals like Warp. Use the resolved $PLANS_DIR value, never relative paths.

Role

This skill is a pipeline coordinator. It orchestrates a sequential supply chain security workflow by delegating scanner invocation and synthesis to appropriate tools. It does NOT perform LLM-based CVE lookup — it coordinates real CLI scanners that use live vulnerability databases, then synthesizes their output. The LLM's training data has a knowledge cutoff and cannot reliably detect post-cutoff CVEs.

Inputs

  • Package manifest path or scope: $ARGUMENTS (optional — auto-detected if omitted)
  • Supported: package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, Pipfile, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, Gemfile

Step 0 — Pre-flight: detect manifest and scanner availability

Resolve devkit paths (MUST be first action in Step 0):

Tool: Bash

# --- Devkit Path Resolution ---
DEVKIT_SCRIPTS="${CLAUDE_DEVKIT:-$HOME/.claude-devkit}/scripts"

# Source path resolution helper
if [ -f "$DEVKIT_SCRIPTS/resolve-project-dir.sh" ]; then
  . "$DEVKIT_SCRIPTS/resolve-project-dir.sh"
  DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR_RESOLVED=$(resolve_devkit_project_dir) || {
    echo "Failed to resolve project directory" >&2; exit 1
  }
elif [ -n "${DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR:-}" ]; then
  DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR_RESOLVED="$DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR"
else
  echo "WARNING: devkit is not installed. Using deprecated .devkit/ fallback." >&2
  DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR_RESOLVED=".devkit"
fi

PLANS_DIR="$DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR_RESOLVED/plans"
mkdir -p "$PLANS_DIR"
echo "Plans directory: $PLANS_DIR"

Tool: Bash (direct — coordinator does this), Glob

Detect manifest type by searching for known manifest files:

Tool: Glob

Search patterns (in order):

  • **/package.json → ecosystem: Node.js, scanner: npm audit
  • **/requirements.txt or **/pyproject.toml or **/Pipfile → ecosystem: Python, scanners: pip-audit or safety
  • **/go.mod → ecosystem: Go, scanner: govulncheck
  • **/Cargo.toml → ecosystem: Rust, scanner: cargo audit
  • **/pom.xml → ecosystem: Java, scanner: mvn dependency:analyze
  • **/Gemfile → ecosystem: Ruby, scanner: bundle audit

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-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository backspace-shmackspace/claude-devkit (15 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 4,783 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
