dependency-scanning

dependency-scanning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from seb1n/awesome-ai-agent-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (2,028 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dependency check that examines the packages a project relies on, including indirect packages pulled in by other packages. It looks for known vulnerabilities, outdated components, license issues, and can produce a software bill of materials, a list of included components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect package and lock files, report vulnerable components, suggest remediation, enforce license rules, and generate component inventories.
Why use it?
It exposes security and licensing risks hidden in the software supply chain, including risks in packages the project does not use directly.

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-scanning 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 9d 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.

Dependency Scanning

This skill enables the agent to analyze a project's direct and transitive dependencies for known security vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and license compliance issues. The agent parses manifest and lock files, queries vulnerability databases (NVD, GitHub Advisory, OSV), produces structured reports with CVE identifiers and remediation guidance, and can generate a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) in standard formats.

Workflow

  1. Detect Package Ecosystem and Manifest Files — Identify the project's language ecosystem by locating dependency manifests such as package.json and package-lock.json (Node.js), requirements.txt and Pipfile.lock (Python), pom.xml or build.gradle (Java), go.sum (Go), or Gemfile.lock (Ruby). Detect monorepo structures with multiple manifests.

  2. Resolve the Full Dependency Tree — Parse lock files to build the complete dependency graph including transitive dependencies. Identify dependency depth, shared sub-dependencies, and version constraints. Flag phantom dependencies that are used in code but missing from the manifest.

  3. Scan Against Vulnerability Databases — Query the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), GitHub Advisory Database, and OSV for each resolved package and version. Match results by CPE or PURL identifier. Record CVE IDs, CVSS scores, severity levels, affected version ranges, and fixed versions where available.

  4. Assess License Compliance — Extract the declared license for each dependency and compare it against the project's license policy. Flag copyleft licenses (GPL, AGPL) in proprietary projects, identify packages with no declared license, and detect license conflicts between direct and transitive dependencies.

  5. Generate SBOM and Vulnerability Report — Produce a Software Bill of Materials in CycloneDX or SPDX format. Generate a vulnerability report sorted by severity, including CVE identifiers, affected dependency paths, available fix versions, and whether the vulnerable code path is reachable.
