Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: nvd.nist.gov, rustsec.org.

    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.

  • 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 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.

About this skill

What it does

The borghei-dependency-auditor skill analyzes project dependencies to identify potential security vulnerabilities and outdated packages. It provides a report detailing these issues, allowing users to proactively address risks within their software projects. This helps maintain code quality and reduces the likelihood of exploitable weaknesses.

When to use it

  • Security Audits: Before deploying an application or integrating new components, assess dependencies for known vulnerabilities.
  • Maintenance Tasks: Regularly check project dependencies as part of routine maintenance to ensure they remain secure and up-to-date.
  • Dependency Updates: Prioritize updates based on the severity of identified vulnerabilities.
  • New Project Setup: Evaluate dependencies early in a project's lifecycle to establish a strong security foundation.

Key capabilities

  • Vulnerability scanning of project dependencies.
  • Identification of outdated packages.
  • Generation of reports detailing potential issues.

Example prompts

  • "Audit the dependencies for my Python project located at [GitHub repository URL]."
  • "Check for vulnerabilities in the Node.js dependencies of this project: [project directory path]"
  • “Generate a report on outdated packages in my Go module file.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to the codebase or dependency manifest (e.g., package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod) to perform its analysis. The accuracy of the audit depends on the completeness and correctness of the project's dependency information.
