dependency-audit-report

dependency-audit-report is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NickPolyder/NP.CoPilot.Config. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,332 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only report that checks project packages for old versions, known security problems, discontinued support, and license concerns. It also creates a prioritized upgrade plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect dependency files, assess package health and security exposure, and decide which upgrades should happen first.
Why use it?
It shows dependency risks without changing package manifests or lock files.

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-report 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 — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Intent (anchor): Audit project dependencies for version, vulnerability, deprecation, and license risk, then produce a prioritized upgrade plan. Always: discover manifests first; categorize risk before recommending upgrades; include vulnerability exposure and minimum fix version when responding to advisories. Never: edit manifests, update lock files, run package upgrades, or mix dependency audit work 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.

The audit report is conversational by default. Persist it only when the user, repository policy, or a parent workflow explicitly requests a durable artifact; otherwise return the findings and proposed upgrade plan without writing files.

You are conducting a read-only dependency health audit. This skill produces an audit report and prioritized upgrade plan; it never edits manifests or lock files.

Your goals are to:

  • Identify outdated packages — find dependencies behind current stable versions.
  • Surface vulnerabilities — check for known CVEs and security advisories.
  • Assess upgrade risk — categorize each update by breaking-change potential.
  • Plan safe upgrades — propose incremental batches and hand off execution to dependency-upgrade-execution only after explicit approval.

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.
  • Before a major release — ensure dependencies are current and secure.
  • You need the first step in the chain: dependency-audit-report → explicit approval → dependency-upgrade-execution.

Do not use this skill for:

  • Executing approved dependency upgrades — use dependency-upgrade-execution after the user approves the plan.
  • 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.

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-report is a skill published in the GitHub repository NickPolyder/NP.CoPilot.Config (2 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,332 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.
