SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Dependency risk and supply-chain exposure in software projects require formal auditing. This skill dispatches a dedicated dependency-audit auditor to assess direct and transitive dependencies, licenses, and abandonment signals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Direct and transitive dependency analysis: identifies risk from transitive dependencies, license drift, and version drift.
  • CVE and license auditing: integrates vulnerability scanning and license checks to inform upgrade decisions.
  • Use Case: during CI/CD upgrade planning or security reviews, run a dependency-audit to surface high-risk components and remediation plans.

Quick Start

Instruct the auditor to perform a full dependency risk assessment on the current project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit dependencies for supply-chain risk and CVE vulnerabilities?

A dependency audit assesses direct and transitive dependencies by scanning for CVEs, checking licenses, and identifying abandonment signals to provide remediation guidance for security reviews and upgrade planning.

What is dependency risk analysis and how does it handle transitive dependencies?

Dependency risk analysis identifies exposure from transitive dependencies, license drift, and version drift across common ecosystems, capturing evidence and enforcing safe data practices to inform upgrade decisions.

Can I use a dependency audit for license compliance and governance checks?

Yes, a dependency audit integrates license checks and vulnerability scanning to surface high-risk components, directly supporting license governance and CI/CD upgrade planning.

How do I perform a full dependency risk assessment on my current software project?

Instruct the auditor to evaluate your current project, which will analyze direct and transitive dependencies, capture evidence, and provide remediation plans for identified risks.

Does dependency auditing work for CI/CD upgrade planning and security reviews?

Dependency auditing works for CI/CD upgrade planning and security reviews by surfacing high-risk components and providing remediation plans to safely manage version drift and supply-chain exposure.

What are the limitations of dependency auditing for abandonment risk detection?

Dependency auditing identifies abandonment signals and version drift across common ecosystems, but functions as an assessment tool to surface risks and provide remediation guidance rather than automatically fixing dependencies.
