gencc-link: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/dependency-cve-sweep/SKILL.md

dependency-cve-sweep is a skill for Claude Code from berntpopp/gencc-link. It costs 33 tokens per session (426 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of dependency-cve-sweep, MIT.

A repository-maintenance workflow for finding and fixing security problems in third-party packages and CI tools. CVEs are publicly recorded software vulnerabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps update Python dependencies, pin GitHub Actions to exact commits, fix code-scanning findings, maintain container vulnerability checks and an SBOM, and validate the changes.
Why use it?
It turns scattered Dependabot, CodeQL, and Trivy alerts into a controlled update process with locked versions and local checks.

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-cve-sweep 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 9d 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

Dependency & CVE Sweep

Follow AGENTS.md first. Consolidate a repo's open Dependabot PRs into one clean PR rather than merging many.

Workflow

  1. Bump Python deps with uv lock --upgrade-package <name> (targeted) or uv lock --upgrade (full); keep uv.lock committed and --frozen in the build.
  2. SHA-pin GitHub Actions (uses: owner/action@<40-char-sha> # vX.Y.Z), never floating tags.
  3. Fix CodeQL findings at the cause; for the common py/incomplete-url-substring-sanitization test-assertion false positive, switch to exact-match assertions.
  4. Keep the Trivy gate in the ratified 2-step form (severity: CRITICAL,HIGH + ignore-unfixed: true + exit-code: "1") and retain the SBOM (../genefoundry-router/docs/CONTAINER-HARDENING-STANDARD-v1.md).
  5. Gate on make ci-local; patch-bump the app version; squash-merge only on green.

Gotcha (FastMCP bumps)

When bumping FastMCP, verify validation-error wrapping: some 3.4.x releases re-raise argument-validation errors as fastmcp.exceptions.ValidationError, so a test asserting on a Pydantic ValidationError must walk __cause__. A version/catalog guard test may also need regenerating.

Common mistakes

  • Merging Dependabot PRs one-by-one instead of one consolidated PR.
  • Floating action tags instead of SHA pins.
  • Flipping Trivy exit-code: "1" without ignore-unfixed: true — gates on unfixable base-image CVEs → self-inflicted outage.
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.
