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 harperaa/secure-claude-skills at c0b4abbf50.

    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

This skill analyzes software project dependencies to identify potential security vulnerabilities and risks within the supply chain. It assesses direct and transitive dependencies, providing insights into outdated packages and known exploits. The skill helps users understand their exposure to common supply chain attacks like typosquatting and dependency confusion.

When to use it

  • Security Audits: Before deploying a new application or service, assess its dependency tree for vulnerabilities.
  • Incident Response: Quickly identify potential attack vectors following a security alert related to a specific package.
  • Dependency Updates: Prioritize updates based on the severity of identified vulnerabilities in dependencies.
  • New Project Setup: Establish secure coding practices by analyzing dependencies early in development.

Key capabilities

  • Dependency tree analysis
  • Vulnerability identification
  • Transitive dependency scanning
  • Outdated package detection

Example prompts

  • "Analyze the dependencies of my package.json file for security vulnerabilities."
  • "What are the known exploits associated with version 1.2.3 of 'lodash'?"
  • "Generate a report on outdated packages in this project and their potential risks."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to the project’s dependency manifest (e.g., package.json, pom.xml). Results are only as accurate as the vulnerability databases it accesses; regularly updating these databases is crucial for comprehensive security assessments.
