| name | dependency-auditor |
| description | Audit and manage dependencies across multi-language projects. Identifies vulnerabilities, license conflicts, transitive dependency risks, and safe-upgrade paths. Use when auditing third-party packages before release, investigating a CVE, planning a major version bump, or running a license-compliance review. Examples: 'audit our npm dependencies', 'do we have GPL contamination', 'plan the upgrade to React 19'. |
Dependency Auditor
Skill Type: POWERFUL · Category: Engineering · Domain: Dependency Management & Security
Offline, deterministic dependency auditing across 8+ package ecosystems. The three scripts are pattern-matchers over manifests/lockfiles — they do not call live advisory APIs; pair their findings with npm audit / pip-audit / cargo audit for current CVE coverage.
Quick Start
python3 scripts/dep_scanner.py /path/to/project --format json --fail-on-high -o scan.json
python3 scripts/license_checker.py /path/to/project --policy strict --format json -o licenses.json
python3 scripts/upgrade_planner.py scan.json --risk-threshold medium --timeline 90 --format json -o plan.json
Consume the outputs: scan.json findings drive which packages to pin/patch now; licenses.json conflicts go to the user as a legal-risk list; plan.json orders upgrades by risk with rollback notes. --quick-scan skips transitive deps; --security-only limits the plan to security fixes.
after applying upgrades, re-run step 1 and assert 0 high-severity findings before closing the audit.
