SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you secure package installation workflows so future dependency fetches are protected by the right controls, while also separating install-time protection from cache cleanup and existing dependency auditing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Install-time protection: Configure and verify shims or other supported mechanisms so package-manager downloads pass through a firewall or policy layer.
  • Age-gate reasoning: Understand and apply minimum release age controls across npm, pnpm, Yarn Berry, Bun, and uv without confusing them with audits of already installed packages.
  • Machine and repo audit workflow: Check package-manager state, lockfiles, manifests, and related system posture to assess supply-chain exposure and remediation steps.
  • Use case: A developer suspects recent dependency compromise and needs to harden future installs, confirm which package managers are actually protected, and run the right audits from the correct directories.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to inspect my package-manager setup, verify whether install-time protection is active, and recommend the safest way to harden future dependency installs.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a minimum release age for npm or pnpm installs?▼

Package install-time protection secures package-manager downloads by configuring shims or policy layers so fetches pass through a firewall. It assesses supply-chain exposure by verifying package-manager state, lockfiles, and manifests before remediation.

What's the best way to audit package-manager state for supply-chain risk?▼

Yes, you can harden future dependency installs across npm, pnpm, Yarn Berry, Bun, and uv. Age-gate reasoning applies minimum release age controls to these package managers without confusing them with audits of already installed packages.

Does Yarn Berry or Bun support minimum release age controls for dependencies?▼

To set up install-time protection, you configure and verify shims or supported mechanisms so package-manager downloads pass through a firewall or policy layer. This hardens future fetches by intercepting installs before they reach your environment.

How do I configure shims to protect package manager downloads?▼

Auditing package-manager state for supply-chain risk involves checking lockfiles, manifests, and system posture from the correct directories to assess exposure and plan remediation steps, separate from configuring install-time protection.

Why should I separate dependency audits from install-time protection?▼

Age-gating dependency installs prevents fetching recently published packages that may be compromised, applying minimum release age controls across package managers like npm, pnpm, Yarn Berry, Bun, and uv to ensure release maturity before installation.
