What is dependency-audit?

A health and structure audit for the packages used by Node.js and TypeScript projects. It checks external packages and how the project's own modules depend on one another.

Use it before releases, after adding many packages, during regular maintenance, or after reorganising a monorepo—a repository containing multiple related projects.

It helps find vulnerable, outdated, unused, incorrectly licensed, oversized, duplicated, or tightly connected packages before they cause security, maintenance, or release problems.

Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00116	$0.07048
Opus 5.5	$0.00046	$0.02819

Security

Grade A, and why

dependency-audit scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 623 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

zuvo:dependency-audit

Audit external dependency health and internal module coupling. Scores 11 dimensions with tiered tooling -- gracefully degrades when specialized tools are unavailable.

Scope: Node.js / TypeScript projects (npm, pnpm, yarn, bun). When to use: Before releases, after adding many dependencies, periodic health check, after monorepo restructuring, before lock-in reviews. When NOT to use: Code quality (zuvo:review), DB-specific (zuvo:db-audit), full-stack performance (zuvo:performance-audit), OWASP (/security-audit).

Scanner exit codes: follow ../../shared/includes/scanner-invocation.md — npm/pip-audit/osv-scanner exit non-zero WHEN they find vulns (success); never treat non-zero as failure.

Known Limitations

Dispatch follows ../../shared/includes/execution-policy.md through env-compat. Reuse existing authorization within that policy; session restrictions take precedence. Run each required gate and report its actual independence or an unmet requirement.

Node.js/TypeScript only. Python, Go, Rust, and Java are not supported.
npm query selectors are npm-specific. pnpm/yarn/bun fall back to lockfile analysis.
D5 (bundle impact) uses Bundlephobia API for triage -- not precise without actual build statistics.
D7 (instability metrics) requires dependency-cruiser for Ca/Ce/I. Without it, only fan-in/fan-out via grep.
D10 (change coupling) requires 3+ months of git history.
Monorepo workspace scoping is partial -- tools operate on workspace root unless filtered.

dependency-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository greglas75/zuvo (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 116 tokens to every session and 7,048 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
