FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my project dependencies for security vulnerabilities?▼

To audit project dependencies for security vulnerabilities, you can use a tool that detects the package manager from project files and executes relevant commands to identify known security risks. This skill supports npm, yarn, pnpm, pip, poetry, uv, go, bundler, and cargo.

What's the best way to check for outdated packages across different package managers?▼

Checking for outdated packages requires identifying newer available versions. This skill automatically detects your package manager from project files—whether npm, pip, cargo, or bundler—and runs the appropriate commands to list packages with newer compatible versions.

Can I perform safe upgrades of dependencies for Python and Node.js projects?▼

Yes, you can perform safe upgrades of dependencies for Python and Node.js. The skill supports upgrading to the latest compatible versions across multiple package managers including npm, yarn, pnpm, pip, poetry, uv, go, bundler, and cargo.

Does dependency auditing work with both JavaScript and Rust ecosystems?▼

Dependency auditing works with both JavaScript and Rust ecosystems. The skill detects the package manager from project files and supports auditing for vulnerabilities in npm, yarn, pnpm for JavaScript, and cargo for Rust.

How does dependency management handle multiple package managers in a monorepo?▼

Dependency management handles multiple package managers by detecting the specific package manager from the project files present. It then executes the relevant auditing, outdated checking, or upgrading commands tailored to that detected environment.
