dependency-audit

dependency-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from viknesh20-20/claude-code-tool-kit. It costs 36 tokens per session (915 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dependency checker for the external packages a project uses. It looks for security vulnerabilities, old or unused packages, and license issues across several programming ecosystems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find vulnerable packages, identify available updates, spot unused dependencies, and review package licenses in projects using npm, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, .NET, PHP, or other supported tools.
Why use it?
It brings dependency problems into one review instead of requiring separate checks for each package manager.

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 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

Detect Package Manager

!ls package.json package-lock.json yarn.lock pnpm-lock.yaml bun.lockb 2>/dev/null !ls requirements.txt Pipfile Pipfile.lock pyproject.toml poetry.lock 2>/dev/null !ls go.mod go.sum 2>/dev/null !ls Cargo.toml Cargo.lock 2>/dev/null !ls Gemfile Gemfile.lock 2>/dev/null !ls *.csproj *.sln 2>/dev/null !ls composer.json composer.lock 2>/dev/null !ls mix.exs mix.lock 2>/dev/null


Audit Checks

1. Security Vulnerabilities

Run the appropriate audit command:

Ecosystem Command
npm npm audit --json
yarn yarn audit --json
pnpm pnpm audit --json
pip pip audit 2>/dev/null || pip-audit 2>/dev/null
Go govulncheck ./... 2>/dev/null
Rust cargo audit 2>/dev/null
Ruby bundle audit check 2>/dev/null
.NET dotnet list package --vulnerable 2>/dev/null
PHP composer audit 2>/dev/null

For each vulnerability found:

  • Package name and version
  • CVE ID or advisory ID
  • Severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
  • Fixed version (if available)
  • Whether it's a direct or transitive dependency

2. Outdated Dependencies

Run the appropriate command:

Ecosystem Command
npm npm outdated --json
pip pip list --outdated 2>/dev/null
Go go list -m -u all 2>/dev/null
Rust cargo outdated 2>/dev/null
Ruby bundle outdated 2>/dev/null

Classify updates:

  • Patch (1.0.0 → 1.0.1): Usually safe, bug fixes
  • Minor (1.0.0 → 1.1.0): New features, backward compatible
  • Major (1.0.0 → 2.0.0): Breaking changes, needs review

3. Unused Dependencies

Look for dependencies that are imported in package manifest but never referenced in code:

  1. Read the dependency list from the manifest
  2. For each dependency, search the codebase for imports/requires
  3. Flag any dependency with zero references as potentially unused

Note: Some dependencies are used via CLI, plugins, or config — verify before removing.

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.
