deps-audit

deps-audit is a skill for Claude Code from helderberto/agent-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (609 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dependency checker that finds known security vulnerabilities, old packages, and possibly unused dependencies in a project. It detects whether the project uses npm, pnpm, Yarn, Python, Go, or Rust from its lockfiles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Auditing dependency security and freshness before a release, and spotting packages that source code may no longer use.
Why use it?
It helps reveal packages that could expose the project to known attacks or leave it behind on important updates. It also shows which fixes or upgrades to run.

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

deps-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 8d 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 — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dependency Audit

Detect the project's package manager from its lockfile and run that ecosystem's audit + outdated tooling. Don't assume npm.

Detection

Ecosystem Lockfile Audit Outdated
npm package-lock.json npm audit npm outdated
pnpm pnpm-lock.yaml pnpm audit pnpm outdated
yarn yarn.lock yarn npm audit (berry) / yarn audit yarn outdated
Python requirements*.txt / uv.lock / poetry.lock pip-audit pip list --outdated
Go go.sum govulncheck ./... go list -m -u all
Rust Cargo.lock cargo audit cargo outdated

Workflow

  1. Detect the ecosystem from the lockfile; run audit + outdated (parallel where possible)
  2. Report vulnerabilities with advisory ID + fix command using the severity table below
  3. List outdated packages: table of package/current/latest/type (major vs minor/patch)
  4. Check for obviously unused deps: grep imports in the source dir

Severity Levels

Level CVSS Action
Critical 9.0-10.0 Fix immediately, block merge
High 7.0-8.9 Fix before next release
Moderate 4.0-6.9 Fix in current sprint
Low 0.1-3.9 Fix when convenient

For each critical/high vulnerability report:

Package: <name>@<version>
Advisory: <CVE / GHSA / RUSTSEC id>
Severity: Critical
Description: <one line>
Fix: <ecosystem fix command, e.g. npm audit fix / cargo update -p <pkg>>

Rules

  • Detect the package manager from the lockfile — never assume npm
  • Prefer the project's own audit task if it defines one
  • Focus on actionable items
  • Prioritize: security > major updates > unused > minor updates

Error Handling

  • Audit tool missing for the ecosystem → report which tool to install (e.g. pip-audit, govulncheck, cargo-audit) and stop
  • Audit fails for a missing lockfile → generate it (install), then retry
  • Outdated returns nothing → report all dependencies are current

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.
