audit-dependencies

audit-dependencies is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tomzx/agents. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,987 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of a project's direct and transitive dependencies, which are the packages the project uses directly or receives through other packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
It checks dependencies with language-specific tools and produces a prioritized plan for upgrades or replacements.
Why use it?
It finds security vulnerabilities, old or unmaintained packages, and license conflicts before they create maintenance or compliance problems.

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

audit-dependencies 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 4d 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 Audit

Audits all direct and transitive dependencies for four risk categories: security vulnerabilities, outdated versions, unmaintained packages, and license incompatibilities. Produces a prioritized action plan that maps directly to the SDLC fast path for dependency updates.

Prerequisites

  • Working directory is the root of the repository
  • Package manager manifest present (pyproject.toml, package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml, etc.)
  • Network access for vulnerability database lookups
  • Language-specific tools:
    • Python: pip-audit (uv tool install pip-audit), uv or pip
    • JavaScript/TypeScript: npm audit or pnpm audit
    • Go: govulncheck (go install golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@latest)
    • Rust: cargo audit (cargo install cargo-audit)

Risk Categories

Category Priority Action
Known CVE (critical/high) 🔴 Immediate Upgrade or replace within the sprint
Known CVE (medium/low) 🟡 Soon Schedule for next sprint
Outdated major version 🟡 Soon Review changelog, plan upgrade
Outdated minor/patch 🟢 Routine Batch update
Unmaintained (no release > 2 years, archived, or deprecated) 🟡 Soon Find replacement
License incompatibility 🔴 Immediate (legal) Remove or replace
Duplicate functionality 🟢 Routine Consolidate
Unsafe version ranges (no upper bound, or over-pinned) 🟡 Soon Tighten ranges, add constraints

Steps

1. Identify Package Manager(s)

ls pyproject.toml requirements*.txt package.json go.mod Cargo.toml 2>/dev/null

Handle monorepos by scanning subdirectories:

find . -name "pyproject.toml" -o -name "package.json" -o -name "go.mod" -o -name "Cargo.toml" | rg -v node_modules | rg -v ".venv"

2. Security Vulnerability Scan

Python:

pip-audit --format=markdown

JavaScript/TypeScript:

npm audit --json 2>/dev/null | jq '.vulnerabilities | to_entries[] | {name: .key, severity: .value.severity, via: .value.via[0].url // "transitive"}'

or

pnpm audit --json 2>/dev/null

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.
