Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00037 | $0.01554 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00777 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00311 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00155 |
Grade A, and why
dependency-audit scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.
Unrestricted tool accesslowExcessive agency
A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.
- **Install scripts**: Flag packages with `preinstall`/`postinstall` scripts that execute arbitrary code Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Dependency Audit
Before you start
Gather the following from the user. If anything is missing, ask before proceeding:
- What is the project? — Repository path or URL
- What package manager? — npm, yarn, pnpm, pip, cargo, go modules, maven, etc.
- What environment? — Production app, internal tool, library published to a registry
- What is the license policy? — Allowed licenses (e.g., MIT, Apache-2.0) and banned licenses (e.g., GPL-3.0 for proprietary projects)
- What is the risk tolerance? — Zero critical vulns allowed, or acceptable thresholds per severity
- Is there a lockfile? — Presence and freshness of
package-lock.json,yarn.lock,Cargo.lock, etc.
Audit procedure
1. Inventory Dependencies
Generate a complete dependency list with versions:
- Direct dependencies: Listed in the manifest file (package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml)
- Transitive dependencies: Resolved from the lockfile — these are the majority of your attack surface
- Dev-only dependencies: Separate from production deps — lower risk but still relevant for CI supply-chain attacks
Record total counts: direct, transitive, dev-only. Flag projects with more than 500 transitive dependencies as high-complexity.
2. Security Vulnerability Scan
Run the ecosystem's built-in audit tool:
- npm/yarn/pnpm:
npm audit,yarn audit,pnpm audit - pip:
pip-auditorsafety check - cargo:
cargo audit - go:
govulncheck ./...
For each vulnerability found, record: package name, installed version, severity (critical/high/medium/low), CVE ID, fixed version, and whether the vulnerable code path is reachable.
3. License Compliance Check
Extract the license for every dependency (direct and transitive):
- Use
license-checker(npm),pip-licenses(Python),cargo-license(Rust), or equivalent - Flag any dependency with: no declared license, a copyleft license in a proprietary project, a license not on the approved list
- Check for license conflicts — e.g., combining LGPL and Apache-2.0 has specific requirements
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

dependency-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository The-AI-Directory-Company/agents-and-skills (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,554 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (unrestricted tool access). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
