SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Dependency audits prevent production incidents by exposing known vulnerabilities, license incompatibilities, and stale or unused packages before they reach release.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vulnerability scanning across multiple ecosystems to surface CVEs and prioritize remediation.
  • License compliance checks to classify license risk (permissive, weak/strong copyleft, proprietary, unknown) and detect potential conflicts.
  • Outdated, bloat, and supply-chain assessments to quantify upgrade urgency, identify unused dependencies, and evaluate maintenance health.

Use case: you are preparing a quarterly release and want a single audit report that highlights critical CVEs, flags GPL/AGPL risks, and ranks major upgrades for planning.

Quick Start

Run the dependency-auditor skill for your repository and request a dependency audit report that includes vulnerabilities, license compliance risk, outdated packages, unused/bloat candidates, and an upgrade priority matrix.

Frequently Asked Questions about dependency-auditor

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I check dependencies for security vulnerabilities and license compliance risks?▼

To check dependencies for vulnerabilities and license compliance, an audit scans manifests and lockfiles to surface CVEs and classify license risks. This process identifies permissive, copyleft, and proprietary conflicts before release.

What is the best way to identify unused dependencies and bloat in my software project?▼

The best way to identify unused dependencies and bloat is to perform a supply-chain assessment that evaluates maintenance signals and package usage. This audit quantifies upgrade urgency and flags unnecessary packages for removal across supported ecosystems.

Can I run a dependency audit for both Python and JavaScript projects?▼

Yes, you can run a dependency audit for Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, Ruby, Java, PHP, and .NET projects. The audit scans ecosystem-specific manifests and lockfiles to produce a unified vulnerability and upgrade priority report.

How do I plan safe upgrades for outdated packages with known CVEs?▼

To plan safe upgrades for outdated packages, you can generate an upgrade priority matrix that ranks updates based on CVE severity and maintenance signals. This matrix categorizes update types to help prioritize remediation during quarterly health checks.

When do I need a dependency audit for supply chain security?▼

You need a dependency audit for supply chain security during quarterly health checks, before releases, or when adding new dependencies. It prevents production incidents by exposing known vulnerabilities, stale packages, and license incompatibilities early.
