SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Dependency audit is tedious and error‑prone; this Skill automates analysis of package manifests, lockfiles, and known vulnerabilities, helping teams keep Node.js projects secure and up‑to‑date.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Manifest parsing to list production, dev, peer, and optional dependencies with version details.
  • Lockfile verification ensuring consistency and detecting missing or multiple lockfiles.
  • Vulnerability and health assessment cross‑referencing CVE databases, audit reports, and maintenance metrics.
  • Bloat and license analysis identifying unused, duplicate, oversized packages and restrictive licenses.
  • Report generation summarizing critical issues, outdated packages, and remediation recommendations.
    Use it before a release cycle, during CI checks, or when onboarding a new codebase.

Frequently Asked Questions about dependency-audit

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit Node.js dependencies for known vulnerabilities?▼

You audit Node.js dependencies by parsing package.json and lockfiles to cross-reference installed versions against known CVE databases. This identifies vulnerable packages and generates actionable remediation recommendations to secure your project.

Can I check npm package licenses and detect bloat during a dependency audit?▼

Yes, a dependency audit can identify restrictive licenses and detect bloat by flagging unused, duplicate, or oversized npm packages. This helps teams avoid legal risks and optimize project size before a release cycle.

Does the dependency audit work with both npm and Yarn lockfiles?▼

Yes, the dependency audit supports both npm and Yarn projects. It verifies lockfile consistency to detect missing or multiple lockfiles while assessing version constraints and package health metrics across your Node.js application.

What's the best way to automate vulnerability scans in CI pipelines?▼

The best way to automate vulnerability scans in CI pipelines is to apply an automated dependency audit that analyzes package manifests and npm audit output. This continuously detects known CVEs and outdated packages during CI checks.

Why does my dependency audit require a lockfile alongside package.json?▼

A dependency audit requires a lockfile alongside package.json to verify consistency and assess exact resolved versions. Without the lockfile, the audit cannot accurately cross-reference known CVEs or detect missing dependencies.
