SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps engineering teams proactively identify and remediate risks in project dependencies, including security vulnerabilities, outdated versions, license incompatibilities, and supply-chain concerns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vulnerability scanning across ecosystems (npm/yarn/pnpm for Node.js, pip-audit/safety for Python, govulncheck for Go, bundle-audit for Ruby)
  • Outdated dependency detection and end-of-life checks
  • License compliance assessment with risk flagging
  • Supply-chain risk scoring and actionable remediation guidance
  • Use Case: When preparing a release, run dependency-auditor to surface critical CVEs and upgrade paths

Quick Start

Install the required tooling for your language ecosystems and run the auditor against your project repository. Then review the Dependency Audit Report and apply fixes.

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

To audit project dependencies for vulnerabilities and supply-chain risk, run the auditor against your repository using ecosystem tooling like npm, pip-audit, or govulncheck. It generates a Dependency Audit Report surfacing critical CVEs, outdated versions, and upgrade paths.

What's the best way to check license compatibility across multi-language project dependencies?

Checking license compatibility across multi-language project dependencies involves scanning local manifests like package.json, go.mod, and requirements.txt. The audit flags license incompatibilities and supply-chain risks, providing actionable remediation guidance for your Node.js, Python, Go, or Ruby projects.

Do I need to install npm or govulncheck before running a dependency audit?

Yes, you need to install required ecosystem tooling such as npm, pip-audit, govulncheck, or bundle-audit before running a dependency audit. A local manifest file like package.json or requirements.txt must also be present in your project repository for the tool to function.

Can I use a dependency auditor to detect outdated packages during a release preparation?

Yes, you can use a dependency auditor to detect outdated packages and end-of-life versions during release preparation. It scans your project dependencies to surface critical vulnerabilities and provides actionable upgrade paths to ensure your release is secure.

How does supply-chain risk scoring work for Node.js and Go dependencies?

Supply-chain risk scoring for Node.js and Go dependencies works by scanning local manifests like package.json and go.mod using ecosystem tools such as npm and govulncheck. It evaluates vulnerabilities, license compliance, and outdated versions to generate an actionable risk score.
