dependency-audit

dependency-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Mathews-Tom/armory. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,339 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of a project's direct and indirect software packages for security problems, license conflicts, poor maintenance, unused code, and unnecessary size.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check dependency files and lock files, identify vulnerabilities and license issues, assess package health, find bloat, and prioritize fixes.
Why use it?
It helps reveal risks hidden in dependencies, including packages your project uses indirectly or packages that are abandoned or legally unsuitable.

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 5d 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 — 228 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dependency Audit

Comprehensive dependency risk assessment: license compatibility analysis, maintenance health scoring, CVE detection, bloat identification, and transitive dependency risk mapping. Produces an actionable report with prioritized remediation steps organized by urgency (security → license → maintenance → bloat).

Reference Files

File Contents Load When
references/license-compatibility.md License compatibility matrix, copyleft detection, commercial-safe licenses Always
references/health-metrics.md Maintenance health indicators, scoring criteria, abandonment detection Always
references/bloat-detection.md Identifying unused deps, duplicate functionality, heavy transitive trees Bloat analysis requested
references/cve-sources.md CVE databases, advisory sources, vulnerability severity interpretation Security audit requested

Prerequisites

  • Access to the project's dependency files (pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, package.json, Cargo.toml, go.mod)
  • Lock file (for exact versions and transitive dependencies)
  • Project license (to determine compatibility requirements)

Workflow

Phase 1: Parse Dependency Tree

  1. Direct dependencies — Packages explicitly declared in the project.
  2. Transitive dependencies — Dependencies of dependencies. Often 10-50x the direct count.
  3. Version constraints — Pinned (==1.2.3), ranged (>=1.0,<2.0), or floating (*).
  4. Development vs production — Separate dev/test dependencies from production.

Tools:

  • Python: uv pip list, pip-audit, pipdeptree
  • Node.js: npm list --all, npm audit
  • Rust: cargo tree, cargo audit

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
