.cursor/skills/dep-updates/SKILL.md

dep-updates is a skill for Cursor from trufflesecurity/trufflehog. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,157 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A workflow for planning and applying Go dependency updates, including security-advisory upgrades and vulnerability checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Refreshing Go modules, responding to security alerts, and validating dependencies with Trivy and govulncheck.
Why use it?
It helps update third-party packages while checking for known vulnerabilities and reviewing supply-chain risks.

Skill for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/.

This is trufflesecurity/trufflehog's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on trufflehog itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything trufflehog configures →

About the project

TruffleHog is a security tool that searches for credentials such as API keys, passwords, and private encryption keys, then identifies their types and checks whether they are still active. Developers and security teams use it to discover and assess leaked secrets in code and other data sources.

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

dep-updates 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 7d 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.

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.
