What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical need to ensure software supply chain health by proactively identifying and mitigating risks associated with project dependencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Auditing: Scans for security vulnerabilities (CVEs), outdated packages, license conflicts, and signs of abandonment.
  • Ecosystem Support: Handles a wide range of package managers including npm, pip, Go, Rust, Ruby, and PHP.
  • Use Case: Before deploying a new version of your application, run dep-audit to get a clear report on any critical vulnerabilities or license incompatibilities that could block the release or introduce legal risks.

Quick Start

Run a full dependency audit on the current project.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit project dependencies for security vulnerabilities and license conflicts?▼

To audit project dependencies, this Skill scans for security vulnerabilities, outdated versions, license conflicts, and package abandonment across multiple ecosystems using ecosystem-specific audit tools and fallback static analysis.

Can I scan for outdated packages and vulnerabilities in Python, Go, and Rust projects?▼

Yes, you can scan Python, Go, and Rust projects. Dependency auditing supports Node.js, pip, Go, Rust, Ruby, and PHP ecosystems by leveraging their specific audit tools to identify vulnerabilities and outdated packages.

What is the best way to check for package abandonment and license compatibility before a release?▼

Checking for package abandonment and license compatibility involves auditing dependencies against a license matrix. This Skill provides a clear report on critical vulnerabilities and legal risks that could block your application release.

How does dependency auditing handle ecosystems that lack dedicated audit tools?▼

For ecosystems lacking dedicated audit tools, dependency auditing uses fallback static analysis. This ensures continuous coverage for identifying risks like outdated versions and package abandonment across supported environments.

Do I need specific configuration files to run a full dependency audit on my application?▼

Yes, the dependency audit requires specific reference files. It uses `references/audit-checks.md` for tool commands and `references/license-matrix.md` for compatibility rules to execute comprehensive health and risk assessments.
