dependency-audit

dependency-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chadixearth/graphyloop. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,407 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for checking software packages before adding or updating them. It covers security warnings, package names, included code, licenses, and lockfiles, which record exact package versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before installing a package, after a security alert, when a lockfile changes, or when investigating whether a package caused an incident.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unsafe or unwanted packages while separating real security risks from warnings that cannot affect your application.

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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dependency audit and supply chain

Two failures, opposite directions: shipping a package nobody vetted (install script, typosquatted name, unmaintained transitive dep), and burning a day on advisories that are unreachable in this app. Both come from not asking is this reachable, and what does it cost to remove.

When to activate

  • Before npm i <new-package> (or pip/go/cargo/composer equivalent).
  • npm audit / Dependabot / Snyk / GitHub alert, or a CI security job failing.
  • A PR whose diff includes a lockfile.
  • Post-incident: "was this package the way in?"

Adding a dependency — the 60-second vet

  1. Do you need it? Platform first: Intl, URL, fetch, crypto.subtle, structuredClone, CSS :has. A 3-line helper beats a transitive tree.
  2. Is the name right? Typosquats live one character away (react-domm, lodash.js, crossenv, discord.js-selfbot). Copy the name from the official docs, never from a model's memory or a blog post.
  3. Is it alive? Last publish, open-issue trend, maintainer count, downloads. One maintainer + last release three years ago = you are adopting the code.
  4. What does it drag in? npm view <pkg> dependencies / npx howfat <pkg> — count transitives and installed size before, not after.
  5. Does it run code on install? npm view <pkg> scripts — a postinstall in a utility library is a red flag; install with --ignore-scripts if you must.
  6. License compatible? MIT/Apache-2.0/BSD fine for most products; AGPL/SSPL and "source-available" licenses are a legal decision, not a dev one.
  7. Pin it. Exact version in package.json (no ^ for anything security- or build-critical), lockfile committed, npm ci in CI — never npm install there.

Triaging an advisory

Run the tool, then think — the count is not the finding.

npm audit --json            # or: pnpm audit / yarn npm audit
npm ls <vulnerable-pkg>     # WHO pulls it in — the fix lives at that edge
pip-audit                   # python
govulncheck ./...           # go: reports reachable symbols, not just versions
cargo audit                 # rust
composer audit              # php

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 chadixearth/graphyloop (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,407 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
