SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Harden npm supply chain security and enforce dependency pinning for JavaScript/TypeScript projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

Auto-detect the project's package manager (pnpm, yarn, npm, bun) and apply suitable hardening measures.
Scan for existing configurations (.npmrc, Renovate, audit workflows, lockfile strategies) and only add missing controls.
Apply a library of hardening rules (npmrc security flags, release quarantine, version pinning, Renovate configuration, audit workflows, dependency review, and lockfile integrity) to improve supply-chain safety and reproducibility.

Quick Start

Run the deps skill on your JavaScript/TypeScript project to automatically detect configurations and apply missing hardening rules.

FAQPage Schema

How do I harden npm supply chain security and enforce dependency pinning in JavaScript projects?▼

To harden npm supply chain security, you can apply missing hardening rules across your project tooling. This includes configuring npmrc security flags, lockfile integrity checks, and audit workflows to enforce dependency pinning and verify packages automatically.

What is dependency pinning and why is it needed for supply-chain safety?▼

Dependency pinning locks package versions to exact releases instead of ranges, ensuring reproducible builds and supply-chain safety. It prevents unexpected updates from introducing vulnerabilities or breaking changes into your JavaScript or TypeScript project.

Does this dependency hardening approach work with pnpm, yarn, and bun package managers?▼

Yes, the hardening process auto-detects your project's package manager, including pnpm, yarn, npm, and bun. It scans existing configurations and only applies suitable missing controls for your specific package manager and workflow setup.

How do I configure Renovate and CI audit workflows for npm dependency security?▼

Configuring Renovate and CI audit workflows involves applying specific hardening rules for version pinning and dependency review. The process scans for existing setups and adds missing release quarantine and audit configurations to improve supply-chain safety.

What is the best way to add missing security controls to an existing npmrc and lockfile configuration?▼

The best way to add missing security controls is to scan the project for existing configurations first. This ensures only missing hardening rules like npmrc security flags and lockfile integrity checks are applied without overwriting your current setup.
