dependency-auditor

dependency-auditor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Morningstar202604/awesome-skillkit. It costs 112 tokens per session (2,004 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of dependency-auditor, Apache-2.0.

An offline checker for third-party software packages used by a project. It reviews package files and lockfiles for known vulnerability patterns, license conflicts, dependency risks, and upgrade options.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan dependencies, review license compliance, investigate package risks, and create an upgrade plan with risk and rollback notes.
Why use it?
It gives you a structured starting point for deciding which packages to fix, replace, or upgrade, without depending on live advisory services. Current vulnerability results still need confirmation with tools such as npm audit or pip-audit.

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-auditor 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/dep_scanner.py, scripts/license_checker.py, scripts/upgrade_planner.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to dependency-auditor — 170 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dependency Auditor

Offline, deterministic dependency audit across 8+ package ecosystems. The three scripts only pattern-match manifests/lockfiles — they do not call online vulnerability-advisory APIs; pair their findings with npm audit / pip-audit / cargo audit to cover the latest CVEs.


Input Checklist

Input Required Description
Project path Yes Repo root, or a directory containing manifests/lockfiles.
Output format No json (default for the script scenarios) or text.
Failure threshold No --fail-on-high makes the scanner exit non-zero when a high-level finding appears.
Risk threshold (planner) No low | medium | high (default medium).
Time window (planner) No Day window for the upgrade plan (default 90).

When the project path is missing, ask only once:

Please provide: (1) the project path (the directory containing package.json / requirements.txt / go.mod, etc.). I'll use the rest as defaults: format=json, risk-threshold=medium, timeline=90 days.

Pre-flight Checks

# 1. Are the scripts complete?
test -f scripts/dep_scanner.py && test -f scripts/license_checker.py \
  && test -f scripts/upgrade_planner.py && echo "scripts-ok" \
  || { echo "ERROR: scripts/ missing — bundle incomplete"; exit 1; }

# 2. Is Python available?
command -v python3 >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "ERROR: python3 not found"; exit 1; }

# 3. Is there a recognizable manifest in the target directory?
ls "$PROJECT"/*.json "$PROJECT"/go.mod "$PROJECT"/Cargo.toml \
  "$PROJECT"/Gemfile "$PROJECT"/pom.xml "$PROJECT"/composer.json 2>/dev/null \
  | grep -q . || { echo "WARN: no known manifest found in $PROJECT"; }

Supported Ecosystems (parseable)

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.
