dependency-audit

A scheduled Claude Desktop task template for checking project dependencies, which are third-party packages used by a project, for known security vulnerabilities and outdated versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect the project type and package manager, check security advisories and CVEs, and run a dependency audit weekly through Claude Desktop.
Why use it?
A regular check can reveal risky or old packages without relying on someone to remember to run an audit manually.

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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to dependency-audit — 0 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Installation

Copy this template to your Claude Desktop scheduled-tasks directory:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/scheduled-tasks/dependency-audit
cp /path/to/claude-ide-bridge/templates/scheduled-tasks/dependency-audit/SKILL.md \
   ~/.claude/scheduled-tasks/dependency-audit/SKILL.md

Then restart Claude Desktop to detect the new scheduled task. Configure the schedule in Claude Desktop settings under "Scheduled Tasks".

The bridge must be running when this task fires. Start it with claude-ide-bridge --watch or npm run start-all.

Emergency stop: Set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CRON=1 in your environment to immediately halt all scheduled cron jobs mid-session. Useful if a task runs amok or you need to suppress scheduled runs temporarily.



name: dependency-audit description: Scan dependencies for security vulnerabilities and outdated packages. Run weekly via Claude Desktop scheduled tasks.

Dependency Security Audit

Scan all project dependencies for known security vulnerabilities.

Steps

  1. Call getProjectInfo to detect the project type and package manager
  2. Call getSecurityAdvisories to check for known CVEs in dependencies
  3. Call auditDependencies to run the package manager's native audit (npm audit, cargo audit, pip-audit, etc.)
  4. Call getDependencyTree to understand the full dependency graph for any flagged packages

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.
