dependency-audit

dependency-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from strikersam/autonomous-ai-agency. It costs 32 tokens per session (772 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for reviewing, adding, upgrading, and validating Python packages, which are reusable pieces of Python software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing requirements.txt, checking for known security issues, choosing version limits, installing packages, and running tests.
Why use it?
It helps identify unnecessary, poorly maintained, incompatible, or security-risky dependencies before they enter a project.

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 11d 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.

Skill: dependency-audit

When to Use

  • Before adding any new package to requirements.txt
  • Before upgrading a package to a new major version
  • Periodically (quarterly) to audit for known CVEs

Instructions

Step 1 — Evaluate the new dependency

Answer these questions:

  1. Is it necessary? Can this be done with the stdlib or an already-imported package?
  2. Is it maintained? Check the GitHub repo — recent commits, open issues, last release.
  3. Is the license compatible? This project appears MIT/Apache-compatible. Avoid GPL dependencies unless isolated.
  4. What is the download / adoption level? Low-adoption packages carry higher supply chain risk.
  5. Does it have known CVEs? Check https://pypi.org/project// and https://osv.dev.

Step 2 — Pin appropriately

This repo uses >= version lower bounds in requirements.txt.

  • Use >=X.Y.Z with a known-working version.
  • For security-sensitive packages (auth, crypto), prefer >=X.Y.Z,<X+1 (major-pinned).

Step 3 — Install and verify

source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pytest -x

All existing tests must still pass after the dependency change.

Step 4 — Check for conflicts

pip check

No dependency conflicts should be reported.

Step 5 — Update changelog

Add an entry to docs/changelog.md:

### Changed
- `requirements.txt` — added `<package>>=X.Y.Z` for <reason>.

or

### Changed
- `requirements.txt` — upgraded `<package>` from `>=X.Y` to `>=Z.W` for <reason>.

Step 6 — Update .env.example if needed

If the new package requires configuration (API keys, URLs), add example env vars to .env.example.

Acceptance Checks

  • Necessity evaluated — stdlib/existing package could not do the job
  • License checked — compatible with project
  • No known CVE at time of addition (note if CVE exists and is accepted)
  • requirements.txt updated with appropriate version bound
  • pytest -x passes after adding package
  • pip check shows no conflicts
  • docs/changelog.md updated
  • .env.example updated if new config required

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.
