ring:auditing-dependency-security

ring:auditing-dependency-security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LerianStudio/ring. It costs 102 tokens per session (1,147 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A pre-install review for software packages, which are reusable libraries added to a project. It checks whether a package may be unsafe or compromised before installation or update.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing new or updated pip, npm, Go, or Cargo dependencies, checking lockfiles, and deciding whether an installation should proceed, need conditions, or be blocked.
Why use it?
It helps catch fake look-alike packages, risky maintainers, known security flaws, and unpinned package contents before they enter the codebase.

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

ring:auditing-dependency-security 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 4d 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.

Dependency Security Check

When to use

  • Adding a new dependency to any project
  • Running pip install, npm install, go get, or equivalent
  • Auditing existing dependencies for supply-chain risk
  • Reviewing a PR that adds or updates dependencies
  • Investigating a potential supply-chain compromise

Skip when

  • No dependencies are being added, updated, or audited
  • Task involves only internal code changes with no new imports
  • Dependency is already vetted and pinned in lockfile

Complementary: ring:hardening-dockerfiles, ring:implementing-tasks

Supply-chain gate for every install command in a Lerian codebase.

Pre-Install Checks

1. Package Identity Verification

For every package, verify:
├── Typosquatting: compare against known popular packages
│   e.g., "requets" vs "requests", "rnodule" vs "module"
├── Homoglyph attacks: look-alike Unicode characters
├── Maintainer risk:
│   - Single maintainer = higher risk
│   - Account age < 6 months = flag
│   - Recent ownership transfer = CRITICAL flag
└── Package age: < 30 days = flag

2. Vulnerability Database Check

Source Ecosystem What It Covers
OSV.dev All Google aggregated CVEs
GitHub Advisory Database All GHSA linked to CVEs
Socket.dev npm, pip Supply-chain: install scripts, network access
PyPI JSON API pip Metadata, maintainers, release history
npm registry API npm Metadata, maintainers, install scripts
Go vulnerability DB (vuln.go.dev) Go Official Go CVE database

3. Behavioral Signals

Signal Risk Level Description
Install scripts HIGH postinstall (npm), setup.py subprocess
Network access at import CRITICAL Package phones home on import
File system access outside project HIGH Reads ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, env vars
Obfuscated code CRITICAL Base64 payloads, eval(), exec()
Native binary bundled HIGH Pre-compiled binaries without source

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.
