Skill Metadata

Name
dependency-audit
Description
"Use when running ecosystem-specific vulnerability scans across project dependencies (npm/composer/pip/cargo/go/etc), with optional auto-fix."
<objective> This skill runs native package-manager audit tools across a project's full dependency tree, detecting the package manager from lock files and running the matching command: npm/yarn/pnpm/bun audit, composer audit, pip-audit/safety check, cargo audit, govulncheck, pod audit, or bundle audit.

It parses each tool's output, classifies findings by severity (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW), and suggests fix versions or alternatives. With the --fix flag it applies safe auto-fixes where supported (npm audit fix, cargo audit fix) and gives manual guidance for ecosystems without auto-fix.

Out of scope: researching a single named dependency's CVE history in depth belongs to cve-research. </objective>

Dependency Audit Skill

Overview

Run dependency vulnerability checks using native package manager audit tools.

Supported Ecosystems

| Ecosystem | Tool | Auto-fix | |-----------|------|----------| | npm/yarn/pnpm/bun | npm audit / yarn audit | Yes | | PHP/Composer | composer audit | Manual | | Python/pip | pip-audit / safety check | Manual | | Rust/Cargo | cargo audit | Yes | | Go | govulncheck ./... | Manual | | Swift/CocoaPods | pod audit | Manual | | Ruby/Bundler | bundle audit | Manual |

Workflow

  1. Detect package manager from lock files
  2. Run appropriate audit command
  3. Parse output for vulnerabilities
  4. Classify by severity (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW)
  5. Suggest fix versions or alternatives

Auto-Fix Support

When --fix flag is used:

  • npm audit fix for safe updates
  • cargo audit fix for Rust
  • Manual guidance for other ecosystems
