SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Dependency drift and security risks slow development. This skill provides automated tooling to audit and update project dependencies across ecosystems, ensuring builds remain secure and up to date.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Universal dependency auditing across npm/yarn/pnpm, pip, cargo, and go projects.
  • Security scanning for CVEs using ecosystem-specific tools (e.g., pip-audit, govulncheck).
  • Safe update workflows that regenerate lockfiles and verify builds/tests.
  • Guidance for resolving conflicts in monorepos and multi-repo setups.

Quick Start

Run dep-audit at your project root to scan dependencies and generate a safe update plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit project dependencies for vulnerabilities across different ecosystems?

To audit project dependencies for vulnerabilities, you need ecosystem-aware scripts that detect the runtime and apply scanning tools like pip-audit and govulncheck to identify CVEs across npm, pip, cargo, and go projects.

What is the best way to safely update outdated packages without breaking builds?

The best way to safely update outdated packages is to apply confirmed minor and patch updates, regenerate lockfiles, and subsequently verify builds and tests to preserve compatibility while maintaining project stability.

Can I use automated dependency updates for monorepos and multi-repo setups?

Yes, you can use automated dependency updates for monorepos and multi-repo setups, which provide specific guidance for resolving dependency conflicts and safely regenerating lockfiles across interconnected project packages.

How do I regenerate lockfiles after updating dependencies in npm, pip, or cargo projects?

To regenerate lockfiles after updating dependencies, run ecosystem-aware scripts at your project root that detect the runtime, apply the confirmed updates, and automatically regenerate the lockfile for npm, pip, or cargo ecosystems.

Does dependency auditing work with both JavaScript and Go projects?

Yes, dependency auditing works with both JavaScript and Go projects, supporting npm/yarn/pnpm lockfile regeneration and utilizing govulncheck to scan for security vulnerabilities in Go codebases.
