dependency-audit

dependency-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NickPolyder/NP.CoPilot.Config. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,063 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of the outside libraries and packages a project depends on. It checks for old versions, known security problems, and licensing concerns before suggesting upgrades.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect project dependencies and create a prioritized upgrade plan. It can guide safe upgrades with build and test checks between steps.
Why use it?
It shows which dependencies may create security, maintenance, or legal risk. It separates investigation from upgrades so changes are not made without approval.

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 3d 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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Intent (anchor): Coordinate a two-phase dependency workflow — audit first, then optionally upgrade — by sequencing the atomic dependency-audit-report and dependency-upgrade-execution skills behind an approval gate. Always: run the audit (read-only) before any change; require explicit approval before upgrading; keep audit and upgrade as separate atomic steps. Never: upgrade blindly, skip the approval gate, or mix dependency upgrades with feature work.

Shared policy: Follow instructions/coordination.instructions.md for precedence, invocation, delegation, and handoffs. Apply instructions/workflow.instructions.md for proportional work and verification.

This skill is a thin coordinator. It owns the end-to-end dependency-hygiene flow and the gate between audit and upgrade, but delegates the detailed procedures to two atomic skills:

  • dependency-audit-report — read-only discovery, vulnerability/risk assessment, and a prioritized upgrade plan.
  • dependency-upgrade-execution — risk-ordered upgrade batches with restore/build/test verification, then commit hand-off.

For single-phase needs, invoke those skills directly. Use this coordinator when you want the full audit → approval → upgrade flow in one place.


When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever:

  • The user asks to "update dependencies", "check for vulnerabilities", or "audit packages".
  • Starting a new sprint or maintenance cycle — periodic dependency hygiene.
  • A security advisory is reported and you need to assess impact, then potentially act.
  • Before a major release — ensure dependencies are current and secure.

Do not use this skill for:

  • Adding new dependencies — just add them directly.
  • Debugging dependency conflicts during development — investigate directly.
  • Framework upgrades (e.g., .NET 8 → .NET 9) — those are architectural changes requiring the Full tier workflow.
  • A pure report (no intent to upgrade) — invoke dependency-audit-report directly.

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.

dependency-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository NickPolyder/NP.CoPilot.Config (2 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,063 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
