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 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 curiouslearner/devkit at 3fa45b7ab3.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The curiouslearner-dependency-auditor skill analyzes a project's dependencies to identify potential vulnerabilities or outdated packages. It provides a report detailing these issues, enabling developers to proactively address security risks and maintain code quality. The tool aims to streamline dependency management and improve overall project stability.

When to use it

  • Security Audits: Before deploying an application, run the auditor to check for known vulnerabilities in dependencies.
  • Project Onboarding: New team members can quickly understand a project's dependency landscape and potential risks.
  • Regular Maintenance: Schedule periodic audits as part of routine maintenance tasks to ensure ongoing security.
  • Dependency Updates: Before upgrading packages, use the auditor to identify any downstream impacts or conflicts.

Key capabilities

  • Vulnerability detection in dependencies
  • Outdated package identification
  • Generation of dependency reports

Example prompts

  • "Audit the dependencies for my project located at /path/to/project."
  • "Generate a report on vulnerable packages in this repository: https://github.com/user/repo."
  • “Show me all outdated packages in my current environment.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to the project's codebase or manifest file (e.g., package.json, requirements.txt). The accuracy of vulnerability detection depends on up-to-date vulnerability databases.
