dependencies-audit

dependencies-audit is a skill for Claude Code from cognitedata/builder-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,752 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for finding and fixing dependency problems in a Flows app. Dependencies are the software packages an application relies on, including their security, version, deprecation, and license issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit and repair a project's npm packages, address vulnerabilities and supply-chain risks, and produce the required package review document.
Why use it?
It identifies packages that are unsafe, outdated, unsupported, or unsuitable, then updates them and records the review.

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 B, and why

dependencies-audit scanned grade B with 3 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.

Downloads and executes remote codemediumSupply chain

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

curl -s "https://api.npmjs.org/downloads/point/last-week/<package-name>" | node -e "

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Dependencies Fix

Find and fix all dependency issues in $ARGUMENTS (or the root package.json if no argument is given) — vulnerabilities, outdated packages, deprecated dependencies, license problems, and supply-chain risks. This skill produces the review-packages.md artifact required by the Flows app review process.


Step 1 — Read and list all dependencies

# List all dependencies and devDependencies
node -e "
  const pkg = require('./package.json');
  console.log('=== Dependencies ===');
  Object.entries(pkg.dependencies || {}).forEach(([name, ver]) => console.log(name + ' @ ' + ver));
  console.log('\\n=== Dev Dependencies ===');
  Object.entries(pkg.devDependencies || {}).forEach(([name, ver]) => console.log(name + ' @ ' + ver));
"

Record the total count of dependencies and devDependencies.


Step 2 — Look up npm metadata and update outdated packages

For each package, gather:

  • Latest version on npm
  • Weekly downloads
  • Last publish date
  • Deprecated flag
# Batch lookup — run for each package (example for a single package)
npm view <package-name> --json 2>/dev/null | node -e "
  const data = JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('/dev/stdin','utf8'));
  console.log(JSON.stringify({
    name: data.name,
    latest: data['dist-tags']?.latest,
    modified: data.time?.modified,
    deprecated: data.deprecated || false,
  }));
"

# For weekly downloads, use the npm API
curl -s "https://api.npmjs.org/downloads/point/last-week/<package-name>" | node -e "
  const data = JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('/dev/stdin','utf8'));
  console.log(data.downloads);
"

For efficiency, batch multiple lookups. If the project has many dependencies, use a script:

node -e "
  const { execSync } = require('child_process');
  const pkg = require('./package.json');
  const allDeps = { ...pkg.dependencies, ...pkg.devDependencies };

  for (const [name, usedVersion] of Object.entries(allDeps)) {
    try {
      const info = JSON.parse(execSync('npm view ' + name + ' --json 2>/dev/null', { encoding: 'utf8' }));
      const latest = info['dist-tags']?.latest || 'unknown';
      const modified = info.time?.modified || 'unknown';
      const deprecated = info.deprecated ? 'YES' : 'No';
      console.log([name, usedVersion, latest, modified, deprecated].join(' | '));
    } catch {
      console.log(name + ' | ' + usedVersion + ' | LOOKUP FAILED');
    }
  }

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.

dependencies-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository cognitedata/builder-skills (6 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 2,752 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
