Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed
Scanned pjt222/development-guides at bcca822c1c.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill
What it does
This skill analyzes a project's dependency file (e.g., package.json, requirements.txt) and identifies outdated or vulnerable versions of dependencies. It provides a report detailing the current versions, available updates, and potential security risks associated with those vulnerabilities. The tool aims to improve project stability and security by ensuring dependencies are up-to-date.
When to use it
- Security Audits: Regularly check for known vulnerabilities in your project's dependencies before deployment.
- Dependency Updates: Determine which dependencies require updates to maintain compatibility or access new features.
- New Project Setup: Ensure a clean and secure starting point by identifying potential dependency issues early on.
- Post-Merge Checks: Verify that merged pull requests haven’t introduced outdated or vulnerable dependencies.
Key capabilities
- Parses common dependency files (e.g.,
package.json,requirements.txt). - Identifies available updates for each dependency.
- Highlights potential security vulnerabilities within dependencies.
- Generates a report summarizing findings.
Example prompts
- "Audit the dependencies in my
package.jsonfile." - "Check for vulnerable versions in my Python project's
requirements.txt." - “Generate a report of outdated packages.”
Tips & gotchas
The skill requires access to the relevant dependency files within the project directory. Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions and context to locate and analyze these files accurately.
